CRY, SMILE, AND WEEP

IN HONOR AND MEMORY OF MAJ Robert L. Olson


Cry because you lost your husband; father; and friend.
Smile because God has a new angel.
Weep for the loss of a loved one who we will all miss so very much.
Cry because he is gone, and we will live on earth without him.
Smile for the great memories that he has given to all of us.
Weep because we lost such a great and loving person.
Cry because we will miss the LIGHT he put in our lives.
Smile because we will have our own angel to watch over us.
Weep for the days we face without him.
Cry because a great man no longer walks this earth,
Smile because we will never walk alone.
Weep because we lost a loving, caring and giving friend.
Cry because our time together was so short.
Smile because Rob lived life to the fullest,
he gave his all, all the time.
Smile because his memories will live forever;
his friendship, leadership, mentorship inspired so many.
Smile for the way he touched each of us,
he will never be forgotten
Smile for the memories, cherish them always.

God Bless & Godspeed.
