With the gift of years

Comes the treasure of knowing

That there are many who love you dearly;

The memories you've made with us

Will last forever.

The tenderness you've shared with us

Will never fade. 

The most wonderful gift you could ever give

Is the special part of you

That now lives in each of us.

And the truth your love has taught us

Can only be strengthened 

By the gift of time...

For where roots grow deep,

Memories grow forever.
