Box 7797, Colorado Springs, CO 80933 In Loving Memory God looked around His garden And Found an empty space; He then looked down upon this earth And saw your tired face He knew that you were in pain He knew you might never get well Upon this earth again So he closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine�. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you never went alone For part of us went with you They day God called you home.
