This month comes with sad regret, That brings a day I can't forget. Forever remembered, Jack and Anne PENNEY, Jean - In loving memory of a dear Wife, Mother and Grandmother who passed away February 19th, 2002. Don't think of her as gone away Her journey's just begun Life holds so many facets This earth is only one Just think of her as resting From the sorrow and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days and years Think how she must be wishing That we could know, today Now nothing but our sadness Can really pass away And think of her as living In the hearts of those she touched For nothing loved is ever lost And she is loved so very much.
