THE BROKEN CHAIN We little knew that day 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, when God called you home. You left us many memories; your love is still our guide. And, though we cannot see you, we know that you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But, as God calls us, one by one, we know the chain will link again.
