To my Dearst Zelenak Family
I am sorry for your lost!
Don't think of him as gone away,
His journey's just begun.
Just think of him as resting, from the sorrow and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no pain, no days and years.
Think of only sadness can really pass away. Think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched, for nothing loved is ever lost.
This is a journey we all must take and each must go alone.
Don't cry for a soul set free?
Miss him alot, but not to long and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love, the laughter, smiles you once shared....Miss him but let him go. But don't be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain.
Love u Richie R.I.P
