Matthew Duksa Obituary
Remembering with Love, Matthew R. Duksa, Sr. November 28, 2002
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning 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 cannot
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.
Forever loved,
Dot, Diana and Jim, Matt and Lisa, and Grandchildren
