Time it was and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories they're all that's left you
"Bookends," Simon and Garfunkel...
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she forever rest in peace. Amen.
