Ours is just a simple prayer, God bless and keep you in His care. God takes us one by one and breaks the family chain, but someday in a better land the chain will link again.
God saw you getting weary and cure was not to be, He put His arms around you and whispered ‘Come to Me’.
We shared so much together, laughter joy and tears, now all we have are memories sprayed with a million tears. We will never cease to miss you, we will never cease to care, in a little corner of our hearts, you will stay forever there. Your love is always with us, your place no-one can fill, in life we love you dearly, in death we love you still.
