Makara Joann Gallagher, April 24, 2012 - June 20, 2012
Dear Mom and Dad;
Your heart was open and love shone through
Your pride and joy for me, so very true
Let love be your medicine to carry on
the things you need to
There is no easy way around this and
no way to make it right
You will always long for one more chance just to hold me tight
I will keep sending you little messages, so you know I am all right
My spirit will surround you, the memory of my face,
This will remind you that angels really do exist
I'm in the arms of our Heheow, they are holding me tight
They will be sending strength to you each and every night
I really must go now, I have things that I must do
I'm really sorry that I had to leave you so soon
I just needed you to know that I treasured you too
Thank you for being my parents, I love you...
Goodnight sweet angel, sweetest dreams
