We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name;
In life we loved you dearly, in death; we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide;
4 And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
"*> Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; v .
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. j.'
