'For a son who loved dearly
For a brother who left too early
For a father who is loved to the moon
For a friend who's smile lit up the room
We remember you with heavy hearts and celebrate your life
with a smile.'
'One day we will meet again in our hearts you remain.
Missed and loved until the day we meet again,
So when I cry for you, hold your hand on my heart
And when I talk to you, lean in close
Know I love you and although I know we are apart in spirit our angel
You will remain in our hearts.'
