Mom,
He's only gone on ahead of you,
Not just left you behind.
Although you can't be with him right now,
He lives on in your heart and mind.

The day will come when you'll meet again
On Heaven's distant shore,
And the two of you will walk hand in hand
Together forever more.

Tombstone, AZ

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the 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 saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were 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.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal. You'll be Forever in our hearts Dad. We miss you so much

To all Vic's family, may you be comforted by Jeremiah 29:11 where it tells us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope.
