KEY TO HEAVEN
Not ours to know the reason why
-
From loved ones we must part
But ours to live in the faith and hope
Through blessings to the heart,
A cross, a bleeding heart, a crown
What greater gifts are given
Be still my heart and murmur not
Those are the keys to heaven

The family would like to express our thanks for all acts of kindness and prayers shown during our bereavement. May God Bless you all
