My Best Friend

I thank the good Lord above
For sending you to me.
My life became greatly enriched
As we became a family.

Words can not describe
The beauty of who you are,
You touched all of our lives
Like a brightly shining star.

An awesome person like you
Could never be replaced,
May God help us cope
With the emptiness we face.

Rest in peace my sister,
I will forever cherish you. 
Knowing you're in your Father's arms
Is what helps to get me through.

As we goodbye to you here on earth,
Your spirit and presence will never be gone.
Your love and joy has filled our hearts,
And that is how we will carry on.

Goodbye for now my Lisa,
My sister, my very best friend.
You will live in my heart forever,
Until we finally meet again.
