There will always be a

heartache and often

a silent tear.

But always the precious memory of the days when you were here.

We hold you close

within our

hearts, and there you

will remain,

to walk with us through

our lives until we

meet again,

Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday,

but missing you is

a heartache

that will never go away.
