Tear streamed down my face when I heard the news,
We were all expecting it.
But it was still hard to accept,
Not having you here anymore.
The world isn’t the same.
Since the day Gram and the angels came.
You are with your one true love now,
Where you should be.
Know that you’re alive in our hearts.
You’re in the hearts of all you’ve touched.
We will always love you.
Now it’s time to say Goodbye,
We shall see you again one day.
In Heaven where the stars stay,
We will all be there one day.
Tell Gram we love and miss her so.
You are together now,
And that gives all of us a sense of Peace.
Love from your Family.
