In Loving Memory

“In the Arms of the Father”

You held our hearts from your first breath, A gift of God, a light so pure. Though now you've found eternal rest, In Christ, your peace is sure.

We prayed for healing here below, But Heaven called your name. And though our tears still gently flow, We trust God's perfect aim.

No more pain, no fear, no night, you walk in endless day. Held in Jesus' radiant light, He gently led the way.

Your laughter echoes in our soul, Your love, a sacred song. Though death has come and claimed its toll, To Him you still belong.

So run now through those golden fields, A daughter safe and free. Until we meet beyond the veil— Where joy will be
