Held safe in the Saviour's arms
He'll not know pain again.
Someday you will be by his side.
Even though you don't know when.

Remember Sandy you didn't say Goodbye, you just said so long for a while.
May you find peace in God's love and comfort in the love of family and friends.
Love, Rose (RainboRider70)SG
