Broken Chain

We little knew that afternoon

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 perfect, precious memories

your love is still our guide, and though

we cannot see you- you are at our side.

Our family chain is broken and nothing

is the same.

But as God calls us one by one,

The Chain will link again.

We Love You Mom
