  THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME
  god looked around his garden and found an empty space
  he then looked down upon your saw your loving face
  he put his arms around you and lifted you to rest his garden must be beautiful he  always take the best
  he knew that you were suffering he knew you were in pain
  and knew that you would never get well on earth again
  he saw your path was difficult he closed your tired eyes
  he whispered to you PEACE BE THINEand gave you wings to fly when we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain
  we would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again
  you have left us precious memories your love will be our guild you live on though your family you are always by our side it broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone
  for part of us went with you on the day god called you home

  Earl and I have never met Betty Jane but we feel we know her through our close friendship with Jimmy and Anne. She was a very special lady with a loving and caring family who were there for during her illness. Our thoughts and blessings are with all of you at this time.
