Dear God, hold Naomi...Sarah...and William and the Chapman family in the palm of your hand.
Let them be comforted by good memories.
Love ones may be lost from our touch, but never from our hearts.
Dear Lord, please comfort those in grief,
Love them, lift them, give relief
For loss they've suffered, sadness felt;
Make this sorrow slowly melt.
Lord, let happy memories ease,
Creating peace like a gentle breeze,
And as you help them make it through.
Draw them...
