This is a collection of lyrics pulled from songs...another dedication to Laura, and another reminder that she will never be forgotten.
"Maybe in another life, I can find you there.
Pulled away before your time, I can't feel it, it's so unfair
And it feels, and it feels like heaven's so far away
And it stings, yeah it stings now
The world is so cold now that you've gone away."
-Offspring
"I never said thank you for that, now I'll never get the chance...
A heart so big God wouldn't let it live
May Angels lead you on."
-Jimmy Eat World
"When the siren's flash is gone
And we're left to carry on
All the memories are too few
When the pastor's music plays
And that casket rolls away
I could live again if you
Just stay alive for me."
-Offspring
"To all my friends present past and beyond
Especially those who weren't with us too long
Life is the most precious thing you can lose.
When you were here the fun was never ending
Laugh a minute was only the beginning
LAURA RUT, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!"
-Pennywise
"The storm has passed, the sun is shining; yeah August 8th is a beautiful day,
What’s goin on, what’s goin on; is something bummin' your scene?
There’s something wrong, there’s something wrong; I’m not trying to be mean."
-NOFX
"At last we meet again dear God, hear the angels sing...
Sometimes I try so hard, to understand the things you do;
Who am I to question you when it all comes down?
Hear the angels sing."
-Social Distortion
"They'll say that your soul,
Will reach for the sky,
This song that you leave
Will never be denied
And after the song,
The spirit lives on,
Though you're not around,
You'll never be gone,
So bye bye, Laura,
There's no one to take your place."
-Flogging Molly
"In the arms of an angel, fly away from here
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here."
-Sarah McLaughlan
"And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading, burning brightly
When the rain set in
We were blessed to have known you
When you were just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever will."
-Elton John (revised by Mary Trishman)
"When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way...
Hey Laura, where are you now
are you far away from here
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away."
-Christopher Cross
"Oh bless the Lord my soul
His praise to thee proclaimed
And all that is within me join
To bless His holy name."
-sung by Laura in Hafey production of Godspell
