God
saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

I am home in Heaven, dear ones:
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this Everlasting Light.
All the pain and grief are over!
Every restless yearning past;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely Home in Heaven at last.
Dear one, do not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust Our Father’s Will.
When your work is completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh! the rapture of that meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come

The
Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures; he leadeth me beside the still water. He restoreth my soul; he
leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a
table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for
ever.

We sat beside your bedside,
Our
hearts were crushed
and
sore;
We did
our best to the end,
'Til we
could do no more.
In tears
we watched
you
sinking,
We
watched you fade away;
And
though our hearts
were
breaking,
We knew
you could not stay.
You left
behind some
aching
hearts,
That
loved you most sincere;
We never
shall and never will
Forget
you Mother[Father] dear.

May you always walk in sunshine and God's love around you flow,
for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know, it broke our
hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, a part of us went
with you, the day God called you home.
A
million times we've needed you.
A
million times we've cried.
If love
could only have saved you.
You
never would have died.
The Lord
be with you
And May
You Rest in Peace.
Amen.

Should you go
first and I remain,
to walk the road
alone,
I’ll live in
memories garden, dear,
with happy days
we’ve known.
In spring I’ll
wait for roses red,
when faded, the
lilacs blue.
In early fall
when brown leaves fall,
I’ll catch a
glimpse of you.
I’ll hear your
voice, I’ll see your
smile, tho
blindly I may grope,
The memory of
your helping hand
will buoy me on
with hope.
Should you go
first and I remain,
one thing I’ll
have you do:
Walk slowly down
that long long
path, for soon I’ll
follow you.
I want to know
each step you take,
So I may take
the same.
For someday down
that lonely road,
you’ll hear me
call your nam e.

When
I must leave you
For a little
while -
Please do not
grieve
And hug your
sorrow to you
Through the
years,
But start out
bravely
With a gallant
smile;
And for my sake
And in my name
Live on and do
All things the
same.
Feed not your
loneliness
On empty days,
But fill each
waking hour
In useful ways
Reach out your
hand
In comfort and
in cheer
And I in turn
will comfort you
And hold you
near;
And never, never
Be afraid to
die,
For I am waiting
for you in the sky!

You toiled so hard for those
you
loved.
You said
goodbye to none,
Your
spirit flew before we knew,
Your
work on earth was done.
We miss
you now,
our
hearts are sore,
As time
goes by we miss you more.
Your
loving smile, your gentle face:
No one
can fill your vacant place.
Your
life was love and labor.
Your
love for your family true.
You did
the best for all of us.
We will
always remember you.

Your
gentle face and patient smile.
With sadness we
recall
You had a kindly
word for each
And died beloved
by all.
The voice is
mute and stilled
the heart
That loved us
well and true.
Ah, bitter was
the trial to part
From one so good
as you.
You are not
forgotten loved one
Nor will you
ever be
As long as life
and memory last
We will remember
thee.
We miss you now,
our hearts
are sore,
As time goes by
we miss you more,
Your loving
smile, your gentle face
No one can fill
your vacant place.

You
can only have one mother
Patient kind and
true;
No other friend
in all the world,
Will be the same
to you.
When other
friends forsake you,
To mother you
will return,
For all her
loving kindness,
She asks nothing
in return.
As we look upon
her picture,
Sweet memories
we recall,
Of a face so
full of sunshine,
And a smile for
one and all.
Sweet Jesus,
take this message,
To our dear
mother up above;
Tell her how we
miss her,
And give her all
our love.

God
needed an angel in Heaven
To stand at the
Savior’s feet;
His choice must
be the rarest
A lily pure and
sweet.
He gazed upon
the mighty throng
Then stopped and
picked the best,
Our child was
His chosen one
With Jesus she’s[he’s]
now at rest.
