Acknowledgement
Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, that any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all and just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much, whatever the part.
