From Your Loving Family

In tears we watched you sinking,

We watched you fade away;

You faced your trails with courage,

Your spirit did not bend,

And still you kept on fighting

Until the very end.

God saw you were getting tired;

When a cure was not to be,

So, He put His arms around you

And whispered, “Come to Me”

Your painful days are over,

Your restless nights have passed,

God gently closed your eyes,

And gave you peace at last.

You gave us years of happiness,

Then sorrow came with tears,

You left us lovely memories,

We will cherish through the years.

We Love You and Will Miss You Dearly,

Love,

Your Family
