SIGNORE
RENE
MAY 7, 1936~FEB. 21, 2008
Yesterday I heard your voice
Today I heard it too
It's been seven years since you've left
I still can't believe it's true
Yesterday I remembered
your smile
The one thing I won't replace
Tonight when I close my eyes and dream
We will come face to face
I'll wait to see you in
my dreams
And we will dance to the music above
I'll hold you tightly in my arms
Because you are my one
true love
Love, Paul, and children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren
