"Fare you well upon your journey, To the bright lands far away, Where beside the peaceful rivers, You may linger any day. In the forests warm at noontide, See the flowers bloom in the glades, Meet the friends who've gone before you, To the calm of quiet shades. There you'll wait, O my beloved, Never knowing want or care, And when I have seen my seasons, We will walk together there."

I wish I could remember which Redwall book this farewell song came from. I want to say its from The Long Patrol but I don't know for sure. I will search for the source though. I want to send this to his family because I believe it offers the comfort to his family. He will be dearly missed!
