Our Muskrat
Your smile will always fill our hearts.
Your laughter will always comfort us
When we need your strength.
Your constant open arms and “Heart to Heart hugs”
Will be forever in our memories.
Your life taught us unconditional love
That will strengthen us as we move forward,
Knowing you are no longer in pain.
By Melissa Manitowabi.
