It’s one year today you passed unto glory
One year you slipped out of our hands son…

In our lives, hearts but in all…we give thanks
Sweet soul you remained

Son…we mourn you no more bc you live
In our hearts, in our spirits, on our lips…
Your fond memories…you were a good kid

Adieu…Rest on sweet soul…rest on champ…Loads of love always and forever.”
