Forever gone but forever in our hearts The caring prayers, the shaking shock -This awful news our world did rock.No one knew how it happened or why.We were all so sad; it made us cry.How unfair it should have happened now -Her tears had dried, her pain had healed;And God chose this time for her life to yield.It’s later now, while we’ve moved on -We miss her as though she had just gone.We’ll never forget all the good she did,Even though, to her our farewells we’ve bid.We love her still, we miss her yet;And on this I’ll forever bet.If she is truly in our hearts,From us she’ll never be truly apart. Sadly missed by all your loving family.
