  1. A beautiful angel is all that is here
    Saying O’Lord please leave me here
    Not ready to leave but has to go
    Wants to go back but God&Grandpa say no!
    Two son’s,Grandchildren(great)& friends
    A meaningful life that suddenly ends
    And angel is what she was meant to be
    Now think of all that she can see
    Watching over her family night and day
    Saying I love you in her own special way
    In the night we sleep and in the day we cry
    While she watches us all from her star in the sky

    Love, Christy
    ** I Love you all **
