Perhaps you sent 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, that anyone could say.

Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much

whatever the part... By the family of Oscar Austin
