Memories and Condolences
for Arlene Ross

Not sure what to say?

Your life was a blessing,
Your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure.

There are no adequate words to say when you face the loss of a sister but we find comfort in knowing that Minnie is with God -- resting in peace.


The Broken Chain

We never knew that God
was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide;
and though we can not see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
THE CHAIN will link again.
