Willard Dean ("Deannie") Orr

A limb has fallen from the family tree

I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve Not For Me."

Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.

Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.

Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my sole is at rest.

Continue traditions, no matter how small

Go on with your life, don't worry about falls.

I miss you dearly, so keep up your chin

Until the day comes, we're together again.
