I've sort of stood in the shadows, sat back and watched as all this went on. I knew Haley a bit, but not as much as a lot of you. I would just like to give my sympathy to her family, friends, and everyone who had the chance to come across this amazing girl in their life. I would like to let you all know, that in only a year you have all grown so much, and it brings a smile to my face just watching you all. I'm never that great with words of wisdom, but the power of music sometimes helps me through difficult times, and just listening to Mr. Urbin so bravely sing about his daughter is amazing to me. I was burning a cd, after the service monday night, and as I was searching for songs I came across one that just made me stop. I listened to it three or four times, and I couldn't help but laugh. Just watching the impact the situation had on my brother over the last year, I could not think of a more moving and perfect song to describe how she is feeling. I hope you all can relate to it, and my deepest apologies go out to everyone. God Bless to All, and remember smile.

I still remember the night we met
You said you loved my smile
But your love for me was like a summer breeze
Oh, it lasted for a while
I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go so

I'm gonna smile, cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

Kiss me once for the good times, baby
Kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help how you don't feel
And it doesn't matter why
Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
'Cause that's how I want you to remember me

I'm gonna smile, cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

I'm gonna smile so you can find the courage
Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin'
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile
