Forever in our hearts

As I make my journey alone.

I Think about my loved ones left behind.

I think of all the love you gave me and the love I have given you in return.

I know you will grieve for me. I have not gone far.

I will forever be in your hearts as you will be in mine.

Think of my love, hugs, and kisses I gave you thorough out the years.

Be strong for me. Take care of each other, for I am at peace.

As God has surrounded me with my love ones gone before me.

I realize... I am Home .

Family and Friends,

"So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?"  - Dean Lewis

That's the question, how does one say goodbye to someone who's been with them for their whole life?

They've also been wonderful, filled with precious memories,

cherish times and then silence...
