Dearest Mother,
Today angels were sent,
After a special person for
Heaven meant.
For you
He has a loving space,
In his ever lasting grace....
Loving Grandmother,
We know you longed of His embrace,
Because when you spoke of Him,
No one could replace the look upon your face....
Time will pass, the pain will heal,
But losing you will always, to us, be a big deal.
Caring Aunt,
You are no longer one of earth's guests,
Instead you are now with our Heavenly Father,
Where you can
Forever Rest.
Love always, Your Family
