It's lonesome here without you; we miss you more each day. Life doesn't seem the same, since you went away. When days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear you whisper,"Cheer up and carry on." Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile and say,"Don't cry, I'm in God's hands, we'll meet again someday!"
