Stop all of the clocks, and turn off all of the telephones. Silence all of the music, and bring in the coffin. Allow the people who are mourning to gather around, as we help remember someone truly special without turning a frown.

As the blue skies cross over, and the quiet streets ahead turn low, I hope that you all see the great life I lived, as I must go now. So wash away the sadness, put away the grief, and please don’t let my death be in vein, I wish you all the best.

Poem #3
As I read this, an honest man rests. A good friend, lover, and father, who failed no test. Although you are gone, you are not forgotten, and I’ll cherish the memories we’ve knotted. Fill your heart with love, and revert back to youth, if there is another world, I’m sure he’ll feel soothed.

Poem #4
Although the time has come where she now must pass, I hope you all can raise a glass. Cheers to the woman who made a difference in our lives, and whose presence inspired everyone us all, despite our misfortunes. Allow this final salute not to go unnoticed, as we speak once more for this wonderful woman.
