To the loving memory of Jeffery Robert Bergen

August 29th, 1983 ~ May 31st, 2000
Forever in our hearts...rest in peace, friend.

A Friend offers guidance when times are bad
and gives you a hug
when you're feeling sad.

A Friend is kind with a forgiving heart
and shows their knowledge
both courageous and smart

A Friend shows joy in the good, stands by in the bad.
Someone to complain to
when times aren't so glad.

At times things are said which breaks friends apart.
And these times, my friend,
brings pain to my heart.

When hopes are shattered and great dreams are lost,
the friendship survives
no matter the cost.

Through all the heartbreak, sorrows and problems to bear,
You, my friend,
have showed me you care.

And this, my friend, comes straight from the heart
Thanks for your friendship,
please never part.
