We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In
life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts
to lose you; you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day
God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still
our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our
Family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us
one by one, the chain will link again.
