God looked around his garden

and found an empty place

He then looked down upon the earth

and saw your tired face

He put his arm around you

and lifted you to rest

God’s garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best

Our thoughts are with you.

May memories of your loved one give you peace.

Even knowing Rachael for just a short time told me that she was a kind, caring and appreciative spirit. She will be missed.
