"There's an open gate at the end of the road through which each must go alone,
And there, in a light we cannot see, Our Father claims His own!
Beyond the gate your loved one finds happiness and rest,
And there is comfort in the thought that a loving God knows best.
May God, who called Orinthia home, grant you peace and rest and give you the strength and faith to say that He indeed knows best."
