He knew you were in pain He knew you might never get well Upon this earth again. He saw 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 never went alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home. Arrangements entrusted to Klassen Funeral Chapel, 338-0331.
