Benediction
His Merciful Touch
I consider that the sufferings of this
present time are not worth comparing
with the glory that is to he revealed to
us. Romans 8:18
I wish I could wipe away every trace,
Of pain and suffering from your face.
But He is great and we are small,
We just cant alter His will at all.
And none of us would want to try.
For more and more as days go by;
We know his plan for us is best.
And he will give us peace and rest.
And earthly pain is never too much.
If he has bestowed his merciful touch
And if you look to him and pray.
He will help you through every day.
If there was no pain or sorrow, how
could I ever learn to call upon you,
Father, with faith in my heart?
Our Dearest Mercedes
We love you from the bottom of
our hearts. Days will come when we
sit around and remember you
reciting the words of Alphalfa. Your
wittiness has brought much joy into
our lives, your smile has been like a
ray of sunshine that brightened our
day. Your love is something we will
always cherish and remember. Rest
in peace Our Love, until the day we
all join and rejoice in a place called
HOME.
You will be deeply missed.
Your family
