The Broken Chain We didn’t know that morning, that God would call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, Today, we love you the same.

You left us with pleasant memories Your love is still our guide.

And though we cannot see you We know you’re always by our side The family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.

We Love You! Until we meet again Grandmaw…

We will forever love you!!
