"May you always walk in sunshine and God's love around you flow;
for the happiness you gave us
no one will ever know.
it broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone;
a part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
A million times we've needed you.
A million times we've cried.
If love could only have saved you.
You never would have died."
