The Broken
We little knew that morning
that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly;
in death we do te same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you didn't go alone.
For part of us went went you,
the dat God called you home.
You left us peaceful 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.
Grandma- You are greatly missed..
Love ya-
Lisa

GOD'S SPECIAL ANGEL
God needed a special angel,
One loving, good and kind,
And so h chose our mother,
And left us all behind.
The tears we shed were many,
Our hearts were filled with pain,
But our loss upon this earth,
Was surely Heaven's gain.
And though her heart no
longer beats,
Her memory lives within,
Time can never erase the love,
For our mother and best
friend.
I miss you, mom...
Love ya-
Vee

GRANDMA
God needed one more to
fill the empty space,
He looked around the room
and saw your sweet face,
When you stopped breathing,
we knew you were gone,
you went so peacefully,
so we knew you chose
the right home,
We knew your skies weren't
so blue,
and the roads were getting
tough for you,
but you fought that fight,
and you did the best you could do,
The best part was you didn't die alone,
The day God sent you home.
You are going to be greatly missed!
Love ya-
Lisa
