Racheal Kyen Nju "Mama"

                If we could bring you back again,

                "Mama our daughter"

            For one more second, minute, hour or day,

            We'd express all our unspoken love to you.

               If we could bring you back again,

                  We'd say we treasured you,

               And that your presence in our lives

                 Meant more than we ever knew.

               If we could bring you back again,

                  To tell you what we should,

               You'd know how much we miss you.

                      And if we could, we would.

                             We all loved you!!!!

                              Uncle Dennis

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane.
I would walk right up to heaven,
To bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

You and angels around Gods happy throne.
I would have held you closer if I had known

God saw she was the happiest and
someone would not let that be.
So He put His arms around her and whispered
"Come with Me".

With tear filled eyes we watched her,
suffer and fade away. Although we
loved her deeply, We could not
make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
To you, to tell you that I loved you, to say
What now must be one long, unbroken cry
Of pain, now that at last you've gone away.
I cannot tell you what a joy it was
To be the one to tend you in your need.
The burden was a gift, for giving does
Not burden one who loves, though loving bleed.
I wish I could have been with you when you,
Perhaps aware, perhaps not, turned towards death
Alone, with no one there to wonder to,
To share your fear, your hand, your one last breath.
I wish, I wish, I wish . . . but it is done,
And now I must surrender what is gone.

Music: Fugue in F# Major.
By Dimitri Shostakovich. Sequenced by J. Marques.

Death is nothing but a moment's rest
Until the Second Coming of the Lord
When He shall gather to Him of the best
To take them to the place of their reward.
I've felt the power of Jesus in my soul
Shining like a golden sun within,
Melting my hard heart to make me whole,
Burning out the remnants of my sin.
I've felt Him work within me, so I know
The glory that will come when I awake.
I'll sleep just like a child who'll homeward go,
And in my dreams of love great pleasure take.
So do not mourn my death, and do not grieve.
The Lord will come for me: This I believe.

Music: Gigg
By William Byrd. Performed by John Sankey.

Yet you, with your wings and your halo half-hidden,
On us have descended with glory unbidden,
Undoing the darkness our fate had decreed.
