"We weren't prepared for you to go

You were too full of life to be

Taken away from us so soon

It's still hard to believe

How much we'll miss your smile

And your laughter in our ears

Your absence leaves a hole in us

We're filling with our tears

You taught us how to be our best

To in the moment live

To never hold a grudge for long

And loyal friendship give

Your presence was a light and joy

We never realized would someday end

Just like the brilliant falling star

That curved 'round heaven's bend..."
