He has his hands on you,he see the tears you cry,and he shares your pain inside,and sometimes you wonder why he allows you to go through what you go through,Just know he has his hands on you,he says he'll see you through,and when you cry he's holding you,so just lift your hands up high for he will provide,When times are hard and it seems no one can understand,But it's in those times that we,we tend to forget what it means to be in his hands.
With deepest Sympathy:
James & Doris Sheppard-Smith

"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." [Psalm 116:15] May God grant you peace, knowing that your loved one is now at rest. Though he will be missed, let the memories of times past bring you joy once again.
