Dear Friend,
Today, when I closed my eyes;
I could still remember your smiling face.
Although, I can not help but visualize;
how happy you must be in this 'better place'.
I want you to know that for the most part;
I will keep my memories of you in my heart.

This sudden loss has left us sad and unprepared;
Even though you warned us of this vile end.
So, we understood, and did not let it get us scared;
Because we knew that there would be a time for us again, my friend.
At that time, we wil love, live, and laugh all day;
but above all, everything will be okay.
