God quickly called my name before I could say goodbye.
I left with precious memories of the time I had with you, and each memory I hope brings a smile, and sometimes a tear or two.
Although the chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls one by one the chain will link again.
My love is still your guide. I will always be at your side.
