Think of Me Think of me and know I am with you Think of me and smile, Think of me and know that our parting is only for a while. On the days that you feel so desperate, To see my smiling face, Just believe in your heart I am with you, And that I’m in a beautiful place. So think of me and remember, All the memories in your heart, And believe and know that this is true, Then we are never really apart.
Love Always, Andrea
To My Family & Friends Don’t remember me with sadness, Don’t remember me with tears, Remember all the laughter We’ve shared through the years. Now I am contented That my life it was worthwhile Knowing that I passed along the way I made somebody smile. When you are walking down the street And you’ve got me on your mind, I’m walking in your footsteps Only half a step behind. So please don’t be unhappy Just because I’m out of sight, Remember that I’m with you Each morning, noon and night.
Love, Andrea

~Acknowledgements ~
Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent those beautiful flowers that we saw sitting there Perhaps you spoke that kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much for whatever part. A special Thank You to the nurses and staff of Amedisys Hospice for their loving and compassionate care.
