Where there's a goodbye
There is a Hello
Where there was a tear
It's now a smile
All pain is gone
She's been set free
To roam with angels
For eternity
There is coming a day
When we'll take our flight
To join her in Heaven
Won't that be a sight
Until that time comes
Live with laughter and love
For that's what is waiting
For us all above
In deepest sympathy,
