Dearly Departed,

In this mess of a world you were the best of the world who left the world.

Dearly Departed,

Family members and friends I wish we had just one more moment to speak again.

Dearly Departed,

I know you’re in a better place, but your loss didn’t stop tears from covering my face.

Dearly Departed,

I’ll never forget the times we shared together. We loved and cared together.

Dearly Departed,

You looked at me and said I’ll always be a friend to you and for that I will always remember you.

Dearly Departed,

You graced my life with so much love. I’m thankful you’re watching over me from above.

Dearly Departed,

I wish I could hug you and kiss you. There are not enough words to describe how much I miss you.
