In life we loved you dearly, in the death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; For part o f us went with you, the day God called you home. You left peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Ourfamily chain is broken, and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
- Author Unknown -
We, the family, wish mexpress our heartfelt love and deep gratitude to each o f you for the support, care, prayers and every act o f kindness shown during Erlene's time o f illness and our bereavement. Our prayers are that God's mercy and omnipotent presence will guide us, sustain us and allow us to accept His will, and that you will be richly blessed by the love extended to each o f us this day.
