In my heart your memory lingers, always tender, fond and true. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep. A loving person, so gentle and kind; what a wonderful memory you left behind. Long days, long nights, you bore your pain. To wait for a cure, but all in vain. Till God Himself knew what was best. He took you home and gave you rest. CARD OF THANKS
