You Meant So Much
You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky
Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near
Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time
Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.

Relation: daughter

I would like to convey my deepest sympathy to the Baker family (especially Keith). Mrs. Baker was a neighbor when I was growing up on Midcrest. She was such a nice woman. My thoughts are with you at this time.
