Mt. Hope Cemetery 11500 S. Fairfield Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60655 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.'
