We did not know that morning what sorrow the day would bring, a bitter shock, a grief severe, to part with one we loved so dear. God's finger touched him and he slipped away, from Earth's dark shadows to a brighter day. God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb, He gently closed his weary eyes and whispered "peace be thine." To a beautiful garden our friend has gone, to a land of perfect rest. With love and silent tears your memory will be treasured and kept throughout the years.
