TRIBUTE
A Family Prayer
O Lord, be gentle with her Be merciful and Kind;
For she was loved so dearly By those she left behind.
Walk slowly with her Lord As you take her to the Promised Land
Stay ever by her side Sing sweetly in her ears And when she cries of missing us Gently wipe away her tears
And Lord, when what we asked is done , We pray our hearts youll touch And let her know we loved her so And we miss her very much.
-The Family-
