BROKEN CHAIN Family and Friends
Family and Friends
We little knew that evening 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, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. -Author Unknown
The family wishes it express sincere thanks for all the encouragement that was given, the love that was shown, the prayers that were sent up and the support given during the time of bereavement.
