We little knew 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 one by one, the Chain will link again.
This is a saying on a plaque that I found in an Abbey Press catalog. Everytime I read this, I break down in tears because it's so beautiful. If anyone is interested, I think the link is
