The family of the late Ms. Laura Dell Letterlough wishes to thank each of you for the many acts of kindness shown during this time of bereavement. May God forever bless and keep you.
COME WITH ME
The Lord saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you And whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you We miss you so each day, Our lives aren't the same Since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper, "Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again someday."
