Kathie......plus all of Donna's friends and family,


Two separate verses of comfort for you..............


If your heart is heavy now

because I've gone away

Dwell not long upon it friend

For none of us can stay

Those of you who liked me,

I sincerely thank you all

And those of you who loved me,

I thank you most of all.



And in my fleeting lifespan,

as time went rushing by

I found some time to hesitate,

to laugh, to love, to cry

Matters it now if time began

If time will ever cease?

I was here, I used it all,

and now I am at peace.

************************************************** *******


Remember

Remember me when I am gone
away,
Gone far away into the silent
land;
When you can no more hold me
by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet
turning stay.
Remember me when no more
day by day
You tell me of our future that
you planned:
Only remember me; you
understand
It will be late to counsel then
or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a
while
And afterwards remember; do
not grieve:
For if the darkness and
corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that
once I had,
Better by far you should forget
and smile
Than that you should remember
and be sad.
