Wieczny odpoczynek racz jej dac Panie You were always there when we needed you No task was too great or small, With a loving heart and a willing hand, For us you did them all. Thanks for the years you gave us, And all the times we shared, We know that when you left us, You knew how much we cared. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He put His arms around you And whispered Come to Me. And when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain, We could not wish you back To suffer that again. Cropo Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements, 586-8044
