No FarewellNo farewell words were spoken, No time to say good-bye.You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.Our Hearts still ache in sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know...

Goodbye The church is full of people Who have come to say goodbye But no one wants to see you go And we are left asking why In our pain and tears we share A heartache that cannot healBut in our minds we'll keep the memories No one can ever steal We all can feel your hand in ours And see your loving face You haven't gone, I feel you here A love I cant replace You meant so much to each of us And in our hearts you'll always beI hope you can see how precious you were To them, to us, to me.

Ed Aka Gorilla & The one's that loved him most!
