He only takes the best.He knew that you were suffering. He spared you from the pain.He knew that you would never get well on earth again.He saw that 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 didnt go alone.For part of us went with you the day God called you home.You left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide.And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.-Author Unknown
