You were our teacher,
our friend.
You were a fighter 'till the end.

You brought smiles to our faces,
warmth to the room,
making it so we will never forget you

You fought your battle long and hard.
You wore a smile even on your worst days.

Now we look back,
it was a year ago today.
We shed our tears,
the thought of you brought us great pain.

You were taken too soon,
but we'll always remember you.
Remembering the stories and jokes you told,
to us they will never get old.

You were our mentor,
our best friend,
and we'll love you 'till the end.
