In tears we saw her sinking, We watched her fade away Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay.
You left us very quietly, Your many thoughts unknown, But you left us many memories
We are proud to own. So treasure her Lord In your garden of rest For when on this earth She was one of the Best We turn to you, Almighty God, In this time of grief.
