In loving memory of our beloved Lou Duke who passed away one year ago today.

Your laughter felt like sunshine.

Your smile was always bright.

When you were here beside me

My world was bathed in light.

But then life played the cruelest trick

And took your life away.

Now nothing is as it should be

And night has swallowed day.

Everything feels different now

Since your light is gone.

I stumble through a darkened world

And try to carry on.

I do my best to live my life

And regain some control

But everyday without you here

Such longings fill my soul.

I am looking forward to the day

I have you back in sight

I know you will be the first I see

As I enter into the light.

Sadly missed by,

Joey, Brian, Alissa, Tim, Alicia, Louie and Eli
