One of my favorite "sister-in-law's, you're light will always shine......
My prayer to her family,
Beloved Mother,Father, my All
In this grieving Come to my soul.
Give me strength in my despair, To
remember my loved one's in your care.
That in your boundless spiritual home, All will find that they are known. And
cherished in your radiant light, that
never dims is always bright.
With love and nurturing always, this
comforting thought I hold today.
Beloved Mother, Father, my All, in this grieving soothe my soul. And in the coming morning light, May my world seem once more bright."
My love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you............
