A light that warmed each corner you touched;
You gave your love with neither pause nor pretense,
A steady heart that mattered so much.
Your days were full — laughter, tears, and stories,
Friendships forged in sunshine and in rain;
You sowed kindness freely, without worry for tomorrow,
And reaped a harvest of love without strain.
In every room you graced, you left your mark:
A warm word, a knowing smile, a helping hand.
Your spirit wove through lives like threads of gold,
Binding us to one another in a chain that will stand.
You taught us how to cherish, how to rise when we faltered,
How to give ourselves wholly, freely, and true.
In your presence, we grew braver, richer, more tender —
Because you believed in us, as we believed in you.
Though now your footsteps echo softly in memory,
Your legacy remains, firm in our hearts.
We carry forward the warmth of your kindness,
The courage of your laughter, the grace in your parts.
Your life was a tapestry, brilliant and complete,
Woven of purpose, joy, love, gentle care.
And as we bid farewell, we cannot mourn only what is lost —
But we celebrate all you gave, and all we continue to share.
Rest now, beloved — your work here is done,
Yet through us your spirit will live on and on.
