We will miss each other for awhile,
But you will come and bring your smile.
That won’t be long you will see,
Till we’re together you and me.To all of those that think of me,
Be happy as I go out to sea.
If others wonder why I’m missin’
Just tell ’em I’ve gone fishin’
Seeing Edward and Audrey at lakeview park on our walks always brightened up our day. He always stopped to pet our dog with that big smile. He will be sorely missed by our family. Pat and Sarah and Petite Loup.
