Description Three years it has been,
Since we've last spoken,
Three years; not by choice,
Since I've listened to your voice,

The first year was unbearable,
The damage was unrepairable,
Many nights of tears and mourning,
Your passing came without warning,

The second year; harder than the last,
Hoping; on the street; we would pass,
I searched far and wide,
For my friend that always tried,

The date has come to pass,
As all remember your last,
Before you were neatly laid to rest,
You were truly very blessed.

I send my prayers up above,
For your son's strong love.
May he always remember,
His mother, more than ever

Very emotionally relatable. The words you choose are simple but entirely effective. May you celebrate the times you have had with your old friend, even if it is incredibly hard to know she's now gone.

Thank you. Each day is a learning experience. A friend of mine once said that those we love are kept alive in the words we speak of them. I suppose, it's the best way to keep her life going.

I think it really is true. Those we love are in our memories and our hearts forever, and they have affected us greatly. Every day we live, we are affected by how they have affected us, and we act the way we do because of them. You most certainly can keep her life going.

Wish you the best. It's so hard and some days are worse than others.

There is an old saying here in Ireland that as long as we are remembered we are never quite dead. Your very fond remembrance of Laura gives her life still and her life meaning.

Thank you. It's a struggle every year, but not nearly as tough on me as it is on her family. I try to continue to remember her and keep her memory alive. It was a true blessing to know her.
