Please share your thoughts and memories with the family through www.DeislerFuneralHome.com After Glow I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who greive, to dry before the sun and hold sweet memories that I leave when the day is done.
