Alice… what's the matter?

It hurts our hearts that you are gone,

and this is now the end

of the story of a wife, a mother,

grandma, sister, friend.

You’re spoken of in such fond ways,

by everyone you’ve met.

Your kindness and your lovely smile

they never will forget.

You’re still here in our photos

and in voicemails on our phones.

We can read your cards and letters,

so we don’t feel so alone.

We have memories of happier times,

when we were all together…

and keep your story front of mind;

you’re in our hearts forever.
