If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane; we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye; you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it means to lose you, no one can ever know
But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more; to re member all the happy times, life still has much in store
Since youll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today, a hallowed place within our hearts, is where youll always stay.
The family of the late Ella Mae Carpenter wishes to express our sincere thanks for your support, prayers, and all other acts of kind ness shown during her illness and her passing at this time. May God bless each of you.
