If friends so desire, donations may be made to a charity of ones choice. God looked around His garden And found an empty space, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, Gods garden must be beautiful He takes only the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain, He knew the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you The day God called you home. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL IN CARE OF ARRANGEMENTS, 586-8044.
