The passing of time is a sad adventure..but in the end we will all meet again....And now my friend as I went to your friends a long time ago now I will go to yours and raise a pint and tell the stories you told to me...
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
Forever...
