You never said,
“I'm leaving,”
You never said good bye.
You were gone before we knew it and only God knew why.
They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal, but neither time nor reason will change they way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles. No one knows how many time we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something so there won't be any doubt, you're so wonderful to think of, but so hard to be without.
“Forever in our hearts”
- Love,
Mom, Ben and Toni
