"I would like to quote a poem by David Harkin which I hope will bring you comfort . . .
You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
Rhys thanked Rev. Brown for the service.
Then the family members left to go to their homes.

this story so much! 
Hi Daisy,
I had hoped that he would find himself a sweetheart (but than that's my hope for all Sims 
). It was beautiful service. I likes the thoughts and the senitment.
BBdoll and Lilly. Lilly, yes there's one great-grandson (Noah's son Jonah) who was too young to attend. Cheer up BBdoll, the next Buford Falls Special Event will be a happy one!
