In tears I saw you sinking, I watched you fade away, My heart was almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. God saw the road was hard to climb he gently closed your weary eyes, and whispered, peace be THINE You left us very quietly, your many thoughts unknown but left us many memories we are proud to own, so treasure him Lord in your garden ofrest, for when on this earth he was one ofthe best.

A hand has struck, a life is gone with no regret or shame, Whether with intent or accidentally, the end result? Is still the same. s One never gets use to life abrupt ending But there s one way to ease the pain, Just put your full trust in Jesus And serve Him til He comes again. "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. " - St. John 11 :25-26
