The Lord says in his house are many rooms and he has gone ahead to prepare one for all who love him. He know's all the hairs on our head and all the days we are here on earth before we are even born. It is such a tragic loss for the family to loose a loved one so young, but heaven has gained a angel for the Lord has promised to be out of the body is to be with the Lord. May the Lord give the Hermes family comfort thru this time. Jody

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
