You never said I'm leaving, you never said goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and no one knows quite why. A millions times I've needed you, a million times I've cried. If love alone could have saved you, you would have never died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heard I hold a place, that only you can fill. I don't know which pain is worse...the shock of what happened, or the ache for what never will. Love you my beautiful niece...forever your Titi Maria.
