Shannon Crawford

In loving memory of my daughter Shannon Crawford whose birthday is today June 11

Feel no guilt in laughter

I know how much you cared

Feel no sorrow in a smile

That I’m not there to share

You cannot grieve forever

I wouldn’t want you to

I hope that you will carry on

The way you always do

So talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared

The days we spent together, the happiness we shared

Let memories surround you, a word someone may say

Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day

That brings me back so clearly as though I still were here

And leaves you with the feeling that I am always near

For if you keep those moments we will never be apart

And you will live forever locked safely in my heart
