Dear John - you're still living in the hearts of those you touched, And we all loved you so very much. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal. Time has passed since you left us and our lives are not the same, We talk about you often but our hearts still ache with so much pain. We can't believe you had to leave - the pain is still so severe, To live our lives without you is more than we can bear. Memories live forever - growing richer through the years, Nurtured by our laughter and watered by our tears. It helps to know you're resting far from sorrow and pain, In a place of warmth and comfort - until we meet again.
