Family Tributes “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.” (Psalm 127:3) TO MY DEAR SON Today it would be wonderful to see you play or smile but heaven lent you to this world for just a short time and in that short but precious time you brought along much love and all that love is with you. Your leaving caused so much pain and so many tears, but God needed one more angel, so he took you back again. Until We Meet Again, Mom TO OUR BROTHER Your life was a blessing. Your memory a treasure, You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Raynard & Anthony
TO OUR GRANDSON I hide my tears when I hear your name, but the pain in my heart is still the same. Although I smile and seem carefree, there’s no one who miss you more than me. Grandma Elaine
& Grandpa Ray
