In loving memory of Janis H. Geoghegan
February 10, 1939 to May 8, 2014
It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn’t go alone.
A part of us went with you;
The day God took you home.
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You would never have died.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one could ever fill.
You left behind our broken hearts,
and happy memories, too.
But we never wanted memories.
We wanted only you.
Dearly missed and loved always,
Bill, Willie and Troy
