As she has ascended to heaven, we are heartbroken to see her go, but we have been blessed to have had her in our lives and knowing she is safe in the arms of the Lord.
Until we meet again, we will always love and remember you.
Lord, we thank you for this day
For these hours of work and play
For the shining sun above
For thy kind and gentle love
Help us Lord, thy will be done
Help us to be kind and true
