Not sure what to say?

To the Holt family- I was blessed to have gotten to know Jean. I only wished I could have met her in her younger years. What a joy she must have been. She made each and every day on the job a fun place to be. We shared lunch together every day and laughed so hard sometimes we cried. She had an infectious smile and her eyes twinkled.

By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently,...
