Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."  Mark 10:14, 15 NIV

Together Forever

Our family, we will always love you.
And, oh, how we hope you understand
That we have not really left you.
We have merely traveled to another land.
A land that is full of beauty
Where we are safe from all harm.
We are waiting here for you, dear family,
Until someday we will again be in your arms.

Hand in hand we made our peaceful journey together,
Two small sisters side by side forever.
We saw the light shining through the swirling waters
And we were lifted up by a love so true.
A love that could only be matched, dear family,
By the love given to us by you.

Please do not despair about our departure
For we are not really gone.
And know that you filled our lives with joy and pleasure,
Both gifts of your true devotion.
Please take comfort in the many fond memories
That we left for you always to treasure.

Dear family, our time on earth may be run.
But rejoice!
Our eternal lives have just begun!
