What would you say?

There's this song by Trailer Choir that in part pays tribute to the Sago Mine workers that perished in an tragic accident. They knew they weren't going to live and left notes for their loved ones. The video on their site shows the notes written by the workers. It seems apparent that they were already running out of oxygen and couldn't write well. One part simply says "It wasn't bad. I just went to sleep. I love you"

The song asks:
in the lines on a page from the life that you made
could you write it with no regrets
would you know in yourself you gave somebody else
all the love that you had inside
right down to your last breath.
It's a haunting question... What would you say in that final moment, the final breath? How could you express it all?

Here's my first attempt:
"I love you all. I'll see you later. As long as you never forget me."
