Look beyond the empty chair
To know a life well spent
Looking beyond the solitude to days of content
Cherish your Broken Heart
Each moment gladly shared
Feel the touch of memory

Loved and cherished dear Dawn, I will miss our shopping and outings of mischief. I will have half a glass for you.
Love your little sister Gaynor.
