May you always walk in sunshine,
And God 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 needed you
Your kindness and your love you shared
If only love could have saved you
You would’ve never died
The Lord be with you and
May you rest in peace
