SCHULTZ, Thomas Daniel (Bob).
What moves through us is a silence,
A quiet sadness, a longing for one more day,
One more word, one more touch,
I may not understand why you left this earth so soon,
Or why you left before I was ready to say good-bye,
But little by little,
I begin to remember not just that you died,
But that you lived.
And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget

Your wings were ready but my heart was not.
Loved, missed and remembered everyday, every hour and every second xx
