Q
Teardrops are falling down From out of the sky
They fall down sweet love From Heaven up high
For someone has crossed over The other side
Cannot not dry the tears I have physically cried
But they look down in thought Praying just for me
Like an angel they sit there Oh so lovingly
Its not that I grieve The reason that I cry But its that I miss them dearly
And this is whv j
So instead of sitting here, With oil such tears I will thank the Lord
For the memories of precious years
For the guidance and love That they have shown me And acknowledge that it is A far better place theyll now be.

Perhaps you stopped to visit with us, sent a floral, a card or simply
made a call. Perhaps you heard of our bereavement and whispered
a sincere prayer or maybe you expressed concern, and we were
made aware. Friends are so very special, especially when they really
care. Whatever your contribution, it has helped to make the
inevitable more acceptable. From each of us to all of you, a sincere,
Thank You.
