Song for a dear friend (SOtD MCXCV)

Arrived at the office yesterday to receive shocking news. A co-worker and dear friend had passed away on Sunday.
Quoting freely someone more skilled with words than me: "She was betrayed by the heart that was so big and full of love to everyone."
I'm not a spiritual or religious person, quite the opposite. But if I define spirit as the memories of someone, that remain after that person is gone. Then, I can surely say that my dear friend's spirit will carry on, as long as remains someone that had the privilege of knowing her.
