Beautiful girl you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace

I share this beautiful poem in hopes that it may bring peace and comfort to all that knew and loved my dear sweet great-niece.

Little did we know that morning,
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 beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You're always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
