1 Thessalonians 4:14 " For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him"

A smile for all, a heart of gold, one of the finest this world could hold

Never selfish, always kind, these are memories she lives behind…

In tears we saw you sinking,

And watched you fade away

Our hearts were almost broken,

Because we wanted you to stay

But when we saw you sleeping

So peacefully and free from pain

How could we wish you back with us

To suffer that again.

It breaks our hearts to lose you

But you did not go along

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.
