Wayne R. Ulrich

A limb has fallen from the family tree.

I keep hearing a voice that says

"Grieve not for me, Remember the best times, the laughter, the song The Good Life I lived while I was strong, continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.

Keep smiling and the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, My soul is at rest,

Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.

Continue traditions, no matter how small,

Go on with your life, don't worry about falls.

I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,

Until the day comes, when we're together again.
