One year has passed since we lost you.

God looked around His Garden

And He found an empty place.

He looked down upon 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 also knew in heaven you would never hurt again.

He saw the road was getting rough

and the hills hard to climb,

so He closed your weary eyelids

and whispered, "Peace be thine."

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.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,

We'd walk all the way to heaven

And see you once again.

We love you very much and

You will be forever in our hearts.

Mom and Dad; brothers Ron, Brian and Michael; husband Fred; sons Aaron (Mica), Brandon (Amber), and Camron; granddaughter Antoinette and grandson Jack.
