“You came into my life too late.
And now you left me too early.
You know a real friend when you meet them.
My life continues on with the knowledge that yours was as happy as ones life should be.
My heart will forever think of you when I see snow and mountains.
To think of how much joy it gave us both.
The day came, and you were every bit as beautiful as we had hoped you would be.
Matilda, I will forever be grateful for your support and your loving embrace.
Thank you for everything.
Your are forever in my heart.
“- William Wahlstrom

““When I am gone, release me.
Let me go I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy, we had so many years.
I thank you for the love you each have shown But now it’s time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part So bless those memories in your heart.
