Tile Chain We knew little that morning, that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly;
in death we do the same. It broke our hearis to lose you,
you did not go alone; for part of us went \vith you, that day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you,
you are always at ou_r side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again. Love,
Your Daughter, Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren
