Although it’s hard for us to let you go, we know God’s arms wrap around you so there’s no more suffering, no more pain. We’ll always think of you when it begins to rain, as the rain falls down hard on the ground, we’ll feel your presence all around. We know you’re with God and you’re happy now, we know you’re smiling down. Although our hearts are broken inside, our emotions will be hard to hide, now God is with you and its time to let go. We love you and miss you more than you’ll ever know”
