A dear friend died today
It shook me to my core
To realize my dear friend Nancy
Wouldn’t be here anymore

Such happy times we shared
When we were in are youth.
Hanging out at the Whitby House
Sharing our favorite booth

Our escapades in Wildwood
The nights at Wilson Park
Where all our friends
Would gather round
As soon as it got dark

Though many miles came between us
Through the years we kept in touch
With letters cards and phone calls
Which now don’t seem like much

Would we have made a greater effort
To visit face to face.
If we knew your days were numbered
But now, it’s just too late
