An example to us all you were
If there were only words to describe today
Our sadness and despair
But alas, words are not enough
To show how much we really care
Your parting has hit us hard
Though whenever, it always would
For what you’ve given to our lives
Has been nothing else but good
Your kindness, warmth and company
Your loving words and deeds
Your smile and considerate nature
Gave comfort to our needs
An example to us all you were
Your light, it shone our way
We hope we tread in the path you left
As others might do today
