One year ago today, April 23, 2016 God called you home. We thought about you today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the days before that too. We think of you in silence, And we often speak your name. All we have is memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, From which we’ll never part. God has you in His arms, We have you in our heart. Abra, we hold to God’s promise to be reunited with you and your sister Hannah one glorious day!
Love, Dad and Mom
