So long sailor, May the waves rock you gently on the way to that distant shore, Where sorrow, pain and worry Will trouble you no more. The angels will be waiting With arms extended wide, Embrace you and enfold you As they welcome you inside. The folks you leave behind you Are sad that you must go Our loss is very painful Because we love you so. But loved ones that are waiting, To bid you welcome home, Are joyful at your coming Never more to roam. Farewell my friend,so gentle, kind and full of grace, You've left a part within my heart That no one can replace. Jack, you brought out the best in everyone who had the privilege of knowing you. The evening sky will be so much brighter with you amongst the stars that shine. Affectionately yours until we meet again, Ursula
