Dear Penny & Family,

If I Could Catch a rainbow
I do it just for You
An Share all it's beauty
On days your feeling blue
If I could build a mopuntain
You could call your own
A place called Serenity
A Place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I toss them to in the Sea
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible to me
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let be what I know best
A friend who always there.

We have many wonderful memories,
We will miss you Ozzie.
Your Lake friends
