We Believe…
His life is a beautiful memory.
His absence is a silent grief.
He is asleep in God’s beautiful garden of sunshine and perfect peace.
He left a beautiful memory
A sorrow too great to be told
But to us who loved and lost him
His memory will never grow old.
The depth of sorrow we cannot tell
Of the loss of one we loved so well.
And while he sleeps a peaceful sleep
His memory we shall always keep.
Peaceful sleeping, resting at last.
The world’s weary troubles and trials are past.
In silence he suffered, in patience he bore
Till God called him home to suffer no more.
Love,
Your Family
