“Broken Chain” by Ron Tranmer
“Little we knew that morning
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,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seem the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
