ad, we gather, not in sorrow, but in love, To celebrate your life, now watching from above. The laughter you shared, the wisdom you gave, The kindness you showed, so strong and so brave. You taught me to dream, to stand tall and fight, To find joy in the simple, to seek out the light. Your voice still echoes in lessons so true, Your love stays with me in all that I do. Though I miss you deeply, I’ll smile through the tears, Cherishing memories that span all the years. For love never fades, it grows ever bright, And I feel you beside me, my guiding light. So I’ll carry your laughter, your strength, your grace, And honor your legacy in my own place. Dad, you may be gone from this world we see, But forever and always, you’ll live on in me. I thought we had more days, and more time to blow Before you receive your assignment And before, I know you must go I recalled your infectious laughter, as I pace to and fro Although I wanted more time, Its clear you must go There were good days and bad days and days you had to take it slow Now the time has come, And I know you must go So, I will remember your smile As I glance at you from head to toe Weather I’m ready or not, I know you must go It was time to meet The Father And Uncle Lo knew it for Show! “Although I would love to stay Sheritha” “I know I must go!”

One Family, One Love Lorenza, though you’ve gone ahead, your love will never fade, In every heart you’ve touched so deep, your warmth will always stay. We are one family, bound by love, unshaken through the years, Through joy and laughter, trials too, through smiles and through tears. Hand in hand, we walked this life, through moments big and small, Lifting, guiding, standing strong—together through it all. No distance breaks the ties we share, no time can pull apart, The love that lives within us is still, forever, in our hearts. We cherish all the memories, the kindness that you gave, Your laughter still rings in our minds, like echoes from the waves. Though you rest beyond our sight, your spirit’s shining bright, A guiding light, a steadfast love, still holding us ever so tight. So, as one family, we stand strong, just as we’ve always done, Carrying your love within our hearts—forever, we are one.
