Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly on a chair. Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, if so we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kind words as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all but just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much, whatever the part.
