My heart is broken hearing she is gone. Her home was always open for dinner if you stopped by and were never refused her loving arms to hug you with love.
This was in my Mother's condolence book when she passed and I'd like to share it with you at this time of morning.
She is home in heaven, dear ones,
Oh, so happy and so bright;
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
She is now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
And He came Himself to meet Her
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on
Could She have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For She loves you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth -
You shall rest in ]esus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
All my joy to see you finally,
All of us, together at Home.
