“Even though you were here and now you’re gone.

Your bright spirit and gracious heart will live on.

Memories of your pleasant stories, advice, and adventure you shared.

Sacrifices you made, and unconditional love you gave.

Only a small number of examples showed how much you really cared.

May you always live on in our hearts.

For when we think of you, dream of you, and miss you, you’re not far apart.”       -Rachael Bramton
