I barely recall your funeral, saw you in the casket and was taken off to the babysitter.

I´ve only heard stories about you, and I don´t think many these days would remember you.

I remember you being really sick, going to Mexico with you and your funeral.

From what they´ve told me, you´d put a goldfish in a beerstein if you had the chance, I cannot wait to meet you, but let´s hope it´s not anytime soon.
