     "Hello my friends. You are here now watching this image of me, because I have died. It probably happened while I was on duty, and quickly, which is what I expected. Never forget I died doing exactly what I chose to do. What I want you to know is how much I loved my life, and thoes of you who shared it with me. You are my family. You all know where I came from, and what my life was like before. But Starfleet took that frightened, angry young girl, and tempered her. I have been blessed with your friendship and your love. Will Riker, you are the best. You trusted me, you encouraged me, and most of all you made me laugh. Deanna. You are capable of so much love. You taught me without ever having to say a word. I realized I could be femenine without losing anything. Ahh, Worf. We are so much alike, you and I. Both warriors. Orfans who found ourselves this family. I hope I met death with my eyes wide open. Beverly, your fierce devotion comes from within, it can't be diminished. From you, I have learned to strive for excelence. No matter what the personel cost. Wesley. I'm sorry I won't be able to see you grow into the exceptional man you'll become, but your kindness and innocence are ageless. Geordi. In thoes moments I felt the most despair, you took my hand, and helped me to see things differently. You taught me to look beyond the moment. My friend Data. You see things with the wonder of a child, and that makes you more human than any of us. Captain Jean-Luc Picard. I wish I could say you've been like a father to me, but since I never had one, I don't know what it feels like. But if there was someone in this universe I could choose to be like, someone who I would want to make proud of me. It's you. You who have the heart of an explorer, and the soul of a poet. So, you'll understand when I say, death is that state in which one exists only in the memory of others. Which is why it is not an end. No goodbyes, just good memories. Hailing frequencie closed, Sir."
