Joe Kudla and Family,
Farewell my friend you're leaving
It's time for you to go
Your friendship was a blessing
And We will miss you so
We Shared so many secrets
You brightened up our days
You brought us so much happiness
With your kind and loving ways
You lifted up our spirits
When we were feeling blue
No matter what was happening
You knew just what to do
Through all the ups and downs of life
The good times and the sad
From Bowling mondays to Golden years
The best friend We ever had
God is here to take you home
Now you and us must part
We love you and forever
You will live within our heart.
