REVELATIONS 11:12-15 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. The Seventh Trumpet and the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms ofthis world have become the kingdoms ofour Lord, and ofhis Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps you sent a floral piece, ifso, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all; just thought ofus that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you s.o much whatever the part.
