Romans Chapter 14:7-9 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man
dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die,
we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Little did we know that morning that God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you the 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 on our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
(go saw you getting tired, Avhen a cure was not to he. So fie w rapped fiis arms around you, SAndwhispered, ((Come to m e."
you didn't deserve w hat you w ent through, So J-Ce gave you rest.

SAndnow that I know you 're skeeping, SopeacefuC a n d fr e e fro m pa in , I couCdnot wish you hack do suffer that again.
