“T”
God looked around his garden,
And found an empty space.
He looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden most beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God brought you home.
Survived by her husband of 40 years, Joe Russian
She deeply loved her family and friends.
