They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles N o one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won't be any doubt You're so wondeful to think of
But so hard to be without We cannot bring the old days back
When we were all together The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.
Ther family wishes to express their sincere appreciation for all acts of kindness shown during the extended illness and passing of their loved one. May God continue to bless each one of you. - T he Family
