The Everlasting Light
Those we love must someday pass Beyond our present sight. . .
Must lea\>e us and the world we know Without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle Their lovely light will shine To brighten up another place
More p e rfe c t. . . more divine, and in the realm o f Heaven
Where they shine so warm and bright, Our love ones live forevermore In G od's eternal light.

Words are inadequate to express the most sincere gratitude o f our hearts for all expressions of love extended to this family durmg the homegoing of our loved one.
