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 peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you'll always be at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls u sone by one, that chain will link again."
