How do you say goodbye to a soul so grand,

Farewell to a man that has always had a plan?

If something was broken you would mend it so fast,

When you built things they were built to last!

The body you borrowed had gone too far again and again.

In proper Papa fashion when things can’t be fixed,

You build something bigger and better from your bag of tricks.

The time had come all you could do was done, all your goodbyes had been said,

You were ready to go, to be free, to fly and explore the unknown, to leave your mark as Samuel Vaughan.

– Lots of love Rochelle, Chantelle, Maia and JJ x-X-x.
