Perhaps:
Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, If so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the Kindest words, As any friend should say; Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day, Whatever you do console our hearts, We thank you so much Whatever.
