Gail, Tabitha & Scott,
I said a Prayer of Sympathy
to the good Lord up above,
To ask Him to console you
and comfort you with love.
I prayed for help to understand
the wisdom of His ways,
To trust that life is measured
by love and not by days.
I asked the Lord to give you
the wisdom and the grace
To know Bill is at rest
In the peace of God’s embrace.
Until that joyous promised day
when all of you will be
Enfolded in each other’s arms
throughout eternity.
Our family’s deepest sympathey and love, your brother Terry and family.
