Perhaps you sent a comforting message, or sat quietly in a chair; Perhaps you sent a floral spray; If so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend can say, Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much, Whatever the part.
