To the family and friends,

Don’t cry because I’m gone, smile because I carry on. You’ll always be able to find me in all the little things that you see. You’ll be reminded of the things that would always make my heart sing. Maybe a certain song we shared, maybe a place when you and I were there, I’m not in pain anymore because where I am, I am whole shining like a beautiful soul. Remember my laughter, remember my smile, remember my love and carefree style. Remember my zeal for living, remember my heart that was giving, remember my strength and carry it with you. Remember I will always be next to you, in your hearts and in your mind. Remember my fire to always pull through no matter what life tried to do. Remember me….
