A second year has come and gone
since our Lord has taken you home.
The days, the weeks,
the months have past
they seem to drift away so fast.
Our hearts still ache, to have you near
those days are hard to dry our tears.
Our memories rekindle your spirit and laughter
to hold in our hearts from here everafter.
Each soul that you touched,
along life’s way
only God can give Grace to see again, some day.
With Love,
let the Lord abide within your heart.
We miss you dearly
