Dear Lord Put your arms around her, Hold her in your tender care, Make up to her for all she suffered, And all she had to bear, She went through so much in silence, Her spirits didn't bend, She faced her pain with courage, Until the very end. It broke our hearts to lose her, But she didn't go alone, For part of us went with her, The day God called her home.
