Sennefer
The Ancient Egyptian noble Sennefer was "Mayor of the City" (i.e. Thebes) and "Overseer of the Granaries and Fields, Gardens and Cattle of Amun" during the reign of Amenhotep II of the 18th dynasty. Being a favourite of the king he accumulated great wealth. He was also allowed to place a double statue of himself and his wife in the temple at Karnak. The famous garden plan, often described is Sennefer's Garden, is more likely to be of a garden which Sennefer managed, and perhaps designed, than to be of a garden which Sennefer owned.
He was the son of Ahmose Humay, a male royal nurse, brother to Amenhotep II's vizier Amenemopet, and married to the royal nurse Sentnay. His elder daughter Muttuy apparently married Kenamun, who succeeded Sennefer as mayor of Thebes. His brother Amenemipet called Pairy was buried close by in TT29.
He was buried in a small but well decorated tomb (TT96, sometimes known as the "Tomb of the Vineyards" due to its decoration), located in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna district of the Theban Necropolis opposite Luxor in Egypt.

Some Things Never Die
by: Say NeverNo matter what you’re told
It takes no time to fall in love
It might just take years
Before you realize what it was
I can say I’ve known love
I thank you for that
I can say I’ve grown up
And now I want you back
Maybe we’ll give up
Maybe we’ll try
To fix what I’ve messed up
Watch life in rewind
Whatever we decide
Baby, dry your eyes
You never have to cry
Cos soul mates never die
Whether the sun is your favorite star
Or, the moons your alibi
Just because it’s night
I know, you’ve never meant goodbye
So, I’ll sleep tight
Without you by my side
I said, I’ll sleep tight
Cos true live never dies
Maybe we’ll give up
Maybe we’ll try
To fix what I’ve messed up
Watch life in rewind
Whatever we decide
Baby, dry your eyes
You never have to cry
Cos soul mates never die
Some things never die
Maybe we’ll give up, give up
Maybe we’ll try, we’ll try
To fix what I’ve messed up, messed up
Watch life in rewind, rewind
Whatever we decide, decide
Baby, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
You never have to cry, cry
Cos soul mates never die
