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 beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, your always by our side. Our family chain is broken, nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
