It was on th a t awful cold winters day,

u-'

God took you home to heaven to stay

I cried and cried when you went away.

Rut alas, I have come to learn, It was Him calling, it was your turn. For God was missing an Angel so He chose you,
Rest Darling Angel I ever knew. I understand it ju s t had to be God has taken you to, heaven and now you are free.
Free from Pain, free to run, free to dance and play again. I really am going to miss you and the little things you did.

Go now my sw'eet one, dearest "T", I'll be thinking of you everyday.

Till we meet again I will think of you often. I understand you were only on loan,
Now dearest "T" you are home. In the somber light of the waning moon God took you home way too soon
It's losing you I regret, God had His plans for you already set.

Your loving wife, Georgett
