ADRIAN ALLARD 1998 - 2016 They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won't be any doubt, You're so wonderful to think of, But so hard to live without. If love could have saved you Love Mom, Shawn and Averie God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. And then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Missing you, Love Grammy, Boppa, Uncle Jamie and Zack It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day heaven took you home. If tears could build a stairway, And heartaches make a lane, We'd walk our way to heaven, And bring you home again. If life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. Love great-grandma Margaret.
