(part 3) Not a hair out of place,Your make-up nicely done, A beautiful smile upon your lips - For now you are with god. When someone special like you passes on It does not mean they are gone, Though they are no longer with us your emory still lives on. It hurts so much to lose a friend - Especially one that is trustworthy and kind. jo giles, you were that special friend, A rare and special find. jo giles, you will always be assocciated with speedway In spirit and in mind. You will always have a special place in our hearts Forever until the end of time. we will not say "Good-bye". This is not the end.so I will just say, "So long." until we meet again.
