We heard your voice in the wind today, and we turned to see your
face. We held you close in our hearts today, and it made us feel

forever be a part of us.
As long as the sun shines,
the wind blows,
and the rain falls
You will forever live on the inside of us forever,
for that is all our heart knows.
Love your nieces and nephews
