We never know where life will take us…
And we never know when death will shake us…
So we have to enjoy the years & the life given to us.
Some people you have met share this night
And even though many of us want to hold you tight,
And keep you here, we know that wouldn’t be right.
We’ll hold back the tears, with memories of time,
Nights at the movies…painted nails…and blogs that rhyme.
We’ve all experienced some crazy times, some almost a crime!
Life is so fragile and love is so pure,
That saying good-bye seems so unsure.
We can’t hold onto you, although some of us try,
We don’t want you to disappear, and we don’t know why.
Frank is a new friend,
You have recently met,
But even he knows that your special
From all the love that you get.
Tracy will always support you,
You’re a part of the Doyle Clan,
And no matter where life brings you,
She will always be you biggest fan!
Bryan found a friend in you,
More than he’d ever thought he’s experience,
A brotherhood spirit; a friendship that grew and grew.
Alex has a special little place
Where her man-beast will reside,
Where all night IM’s and phone calls
Brought friendship, closeness, and pride.
Katie is your special friend
For which friendship knows no bounds,
And your voice, your fun, and your laughter
Will always be her favorite sounds.
And for me, your friendship was easy,
From the first day I met you,
For your karma with Katie spoke volumes,
So I wanted to keep you real and true.
So as we say goodbye to Shorty,
To Christian, to Aube, and YOU,
Know that friendship never ends
Just because you got in a plane and flew.
Friendship is a measure of time,
Of what you keep alive,
It commands respect & loving time
In order for it to properly survive.
So look around this table,
And think what each of us brings,
Whether it is a funny memory,
The Wii, talks, or other things.
Take the spirit from each of us,
And pack it in your heart,
For that, my friend, is all you need,
When you begin your brand new start.
Good-bye to Mr. Aube,
A friend we lovingly let go,
To start a brand new chapter,
We’ll miss you more than we know.
Keep in touch with each of us,
As your schedule will allow,
And bridge this gap
With your dreams and your vows.
And if you ever really need us,
You know we’ll be right here,
To laugh with you and cry with you,
But to always bring you cheer.
Go forth and make yourself happy,
And become the man who can achieve,
For we want you to feel successful,
Like a paper clip on your sleeve.
Good-Bye my friend.
Good-Bye my brother,
Good-Bye My son,
It has really been fun!
