In tears we saw you sinking And watched you fade away Our Hearts were almost broken But when we saw you sleeping So peacefully, Free from pain How would we wish you, back with us
To suffer that way again It breaks our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone For part of us went with you The day God took you home.

The family extends their sincere appreciation for the kind ness and expressions of sympathy shown during their hours of bereavement. May God bless each of you.
