He then looked down upon His earth and saw your loving face. He saw your path was difficult and closed your weary eyes. He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly. It broke our hearts to lose you. But, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.rn Funeral Information: April 27, 2008, 2:00 AM
