Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say, Perhaps you were not there at all; just thought of us this day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part.

Song From Our Hearts We knew little this morning, 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, But you did not go alone, A 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’re 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. Love, Your Aunts and Uncles _____________________
