Eulogy

 
With heavy hearts
we are gathered here today  
Goodbye is the hardest
word of all to say
  
So many people
touched by her life  
So much now lost
A daughter, sister and wife  
 
Above all she was
A cherished friend  
Giving her love freely
until the end
  
A perfect person
we know she was not  
Flawed but true
we saw what we got  
 
As we mourn on this day
it gives us comfort to know  
She did not fear death
in peace she let go
  
Her memory we keep
cherish with pride  
We remember the joy
forget the tears cried  
 
No light in this world
ever truly dies  
Destined to return
A new set of eyes
 
We know she will come back
wings made of gold  
A life that is new
A soul that is old  
 
As we lay her body down
eternal sleep  
Our voices become too shaky to speak
  
With her smile
forever in our mind  
We carry on
this life unkind  
 
We believe one day
we will meet again  
Until then we say
goodbye dear friend
