In Memory
A heartfelt message here I send;
The loss of my beloved friend.
My friend, Earlene, as we all know
Was such a loving, giving soul.
And so may times I have said before,
She could not have given more.
But all fate is beyond our control
And the last few months have taken toll.
But all her interest to the very end
Was caring for here family and friends.
As through the years, I've wiser grown.
A truer friend I've never known.
And although I'm saddened here today
Because my friend has gone away
It is comfort now that I have known
That God so gently called here home.
She is at peace now, she is at rest,
And our loving God knew what was best
