They were his life and he loved to make memories with them that would last a lifetime. He will be greatly missed but the memories made will last forever.

Remember Me
Don't remember me with Sadness,
Don't remember me with tears,
Remember all the laughter,
We've shared throughout the years.
Now I am contented
That my life it was worthwhile,
Knowing that along the way,
I made somebody smile.
When you are walking down the street,
And you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps,
Only half a step behind.
So please don't be unhappy,
Just because I'm out of sight,
Remember that I'm with you,
Each morning, noon and night.
