"ONLY YOU"
We cannot walk in your path, for the road you traveled was wide. You touched the hearts of those you met, for you met them with a smile. And as you journeyed along the way, you left a warmth so dear. That memories of you remained, and the footsteps very clear. There is no way to say Good-bye, for you will be loved always. The special way you've touched our lives with your gentleness and caring ways. That certain smile, that look in your eyes, and the softness when you'd say, "Don't worry, everything is fine." More than you knew or more than we could say. But God has seen your promise and has called you to come home. Youve gone away to your Mothers embrace with God at the throne.
The family would like to express their deep appreciation to their family and friends who rendered support during these trying times. May God bless you.
