It's been a year since you've been gone. The pain of your passing lingers on, and always will it seems to be.

But we will always have to keep the laughter, the smiles, the memories. The stories you shared, the things you made, the beautiful families you helped to raise.

We've been separated for now but it won't be long until that bus arrives for us to travel on. As soon as we're done here we'll be on our way. Have you finished building the place where we're all gonna stay?

We're all down here waiting to catch our bus. Also, George, say hello to Pearl for us.

We've always loved you and we always will!
