Lydia C. Prokopchak and Michael J. Prokopchak

In loving memory of our parents and grandparents on the anniversary of their passing.

Lydia C. Prokopchak, October 15, 2012 and Michael J. Prokopchak, October 15, 1996.

You can shed tears because they are gone,

Or you can smile because they lived.

You can close your eyes and pray they will come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all that they left for you.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see them,

Or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember that they are gone,

Or you can cherish their memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind and feel empty,

Or you can do what they would want.

Smile, open your heart, love...and go on.
