“Broken Chain” 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; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems tge same, but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.

When the load seemed hard to bear, we looked around and our friends were there, with food, flowers, and words spoken, with smiling faces and hearts open. You comforted us and shared our grief. May God bless and keep you, granting all relief. Our gratitude cannot be adequately expressed, but they are the best that we can offer during this period of stress. ~The Family
