Loving Sister

God saw the road was getting rough

  The hills were hard to climb

He gently closed those loving eyes 

And whispered, "Peace by Thine."

The weary hours, the days of pain,

The sleepless nights are past;

The ever present worn out frame

Has found sweet rest at last

In god's eternal home,

Where there is no pain or sorrows.

We hopfe to see your loving face

In that peaceful never ending tomorrow.

Sleep on, Denise and take your rest;

We love you, but God love you best.
