“At La Finca, Love Still Lives”
At La Finca, where the sunlight rests gently on the land,
Where laughter once danced freely and dreams were shaped by hand,
There lingers now a quiet—soft, but deeply true—
For every breeze that passes still carries thoughts of you.
Denny, a spirit both tender and bright,
An artist of life, painting joy with light,
With hands that created and a heart open wide,
You turned simple moments into something dignified.
You loved without limits, you gave without end,
A partner so faithful, a once-in-a-lifetime friend.
For forty years and more, side by side you stood,
Building not just a home—but a life that was good.
Oh, how the animals knew your gentle embrace,
How laughter would follow wherever your trace,
A joke, a smile, a spark in your eye—
You made the ordinary feel like the sky.
Though seasons may change and time moves on,
And loved ones must face the days without your song,
There’s a peace in knowing your love still remains,
In every warm memory, in joy and in pain.
So rest now, dear Denny, your work here is done,
Your legacy lives on in each heart you’ve won.
And at La Finca, beneath heaven’s wide sky,
Your laughter still echoes—it never says goodbye.
