You would always light up the room when you walked in and always put others needs before yours and thats what made you the person you are today. I don't consider you dead and i dont want anybody else thinking you are i want to keep your spirit alive like you would have done the same thing for any of us. R.I.P.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay
