    Athough your chair is empty

    If I should go tomorrow
    It would never be goodbye,
    For I have left my heart with you,
    So don’t you ever cry.

    The love that’s deep within me,
    Shall reach you from the stars,
    You’ll feel it from the heavens,
    And it will heal the scars.

    Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one, from the Clarke Family , St. Philip.
