Messages of Condolence

If Tears Could Build A Stairway… If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven, And bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. My heart still aches with sadness And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. But now I know you want me, To mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times. Life still has much in store. Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today A hallowed place within my heart; Is where you'll always stay…
