Beyond Life's Gateway
There's an open gate at the end of the road through which each must go alone,
and there in a light we cannot see Our Father claims His own; beyond the gate your loved one
finds happiness and rest, and there is comfort in the thought, that a Loving God knows best.
May these words of deepest sympathy help ease the loss you bear, and may it comfort you
somehow to know that others care. The Robert Muller Family

There are no words to comfort you on this day so I humbly say to you one of my favorite quotes: "Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort your tomorrow.~Author Unknown"
