    Perhaps you sen a lovely card,Or sat quietly in a chair.Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, If so we saw it there.Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, As any friend could say;Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought of us that day,Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thankyou so much whatever the part. The family of Bobby C Lawrence
