But in our hearts you hold a place that no one else can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but...

If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things I too will...

Two Smiling Eyes Two smiling eyes are sleeping, Two busy hands are still. The one we love so dearly Is resting at God’s will. May she always walk in sunshine, God’s love around her glow. For all the happiness she gave us, Only a few will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose her, But she did not...
