Obituary
A Life To Remember

TRIBUTE
A million times we'll miss you
A million times we'll cry
If loving could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we love you dearly,
In death we love you too,
In our hearts there is an empty place
No one could fill but you.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you never went alone
For part of us went with you
When God took you home.
His garden must be pretty,
He only wants the best
He put his loving arms around you
And said: "My child, come home to rest".
A million times we'll miss you

No one could fill but you.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you never went alone
For part of us went with you
When God took you home.
His garden must be pretty,
He only wants the best
He put his loving arms around you
And said: "My child, come home to rest".
