“I’ve moved on now, don’t feel bad for me. From all life’s burdens and pain, I am finally free. I am free to ride the valleys, hills and plains, or free to drive an empty highway with joy once again. To all who loved and cared for me, I thank you so much. Think of our memories and your hearts I will touch. To those I left behind, my love I send, peace and joy until we meet again.”
