Jess

There are no words, yet we must write
Jess took his dream to its new height
And gave it for this family

Video chats, laughter and tears
Reflecting back so many years
We cherish him as no other

Don’t you ever worry my friend
This home now forever is yours
And always now we'll carry on

You gave us strength to continue
Within our might we will defend
Your singing that flows through our minds

Your words do light the deep dark sky
With smiling, an honor so true
Rest well, you know, it is no lie

Down here you left a light so bright
Good night to our brother, good night
