In tears we saw you suffer, we watched you fade away, our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful from the pain, we could not wish you back, to suffer once again. We sat at your bedside our hearts were crushed and sore, we did our duty to the end ‘til we could do no more. Your presence we miss, your memory we treasure, loving you always, forgetting you never. Sad are the hearts that love you, silently tears will fall, living our lives without you is the saddest part of all. Our family chain is broken nothing feels the same. But as God takes us one by one our chain will link again.
