In the gentle light of memories,

where laughter and love intertwined,

we celebrate a life well-lived,

a spirit that touched so many,

each moment a treasure,

woven into the fabric of our hearts.

Though the world feels different now,

her warmth lingers,

a guiding star in the night,

reminding us of joy,

and the beauty she brought,

forever cherished,

in the stories we share,

and the love that endures.
