The angels gathered near your side

So very, close to you

For they knew the pain and suffering

That you were going through

I thought about so many things

As I held tightly to your hand

Oh, how I wished that you were strong

And happy once again

But your eyes were looking forward

To that place beyond the sky

Where Jesus held His outstretched arms

It was time to say good-bye

I struggled with my selfish thoughts

For I wanted you to stay

So we could walk and talk again

Like we did… just yesterday

It will be lonesome here without you I’ll miss you so each day

My life just won’t be the same Now that you’ve gone away

When days are sad and lonely And everything seems to go wrong

I’ll hear you gently whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.”

Each time I see your picture, You will seem to smile and say “Don’t cry I’m in God’s keeping, We’ll meet again someday.”

To my Friend, my Love, My Wife

Your love has always been there. Even when you scolded me

You were really saying, “I care.”

You’ve helped me through bad times And shared my joy in good. You have given so much for me

Until We Meet Again

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile if only we could have you back for just a little while

Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do You always meant so very much and always will do too

The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain but you’re forever in our hearts until we meet again

Love and miss you, Daddy and Karl

Broken Chain

By Ron Tranmer

We little knew that morning God was 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 beautiful 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 the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

From Your Sista Circle

Words cannot express how much love we have felt during this time of deep sorrow. No act of kindness has gone unnoticed. We ask your continued prayers as we continue to adjust to life without her. We appreciate you, and it is our prayer that God richly bless each and every one of you.
