"The Broken Chain"
Little did we know that morning that
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home
You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us away one by one the chain will link again.
