Card Of Thanks

We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for the many words and deeds of kindness shown to us in our time of sorrow.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hamilton
Donald and Norman Gene

Father in heaven we can’t see thy ways
We’re humans, we know not Thy ways
We can’t understand that one we loved so
You willed it, we say our good-byes
Long, Long ago you gave him to me
A tiny blond boy, oh so sweet
And now today, You have called him away
His span of life was complete
Once on my knees I gave him to you
You own everything that is mine
My family, my home, all that is dear
All that is mine, it is Thine
My heart has a spot now that no one can fill
A place that is broken and aches
But I’ll trust in Thy love
I’ll feed on Thy word
Thou art my strength, guide and grace
So when memories come flood my mind, tear my soul
Help me each day. Dry my tears
I thank Thee, dear Lord for one little boy
You gave me for sixteen long years.

Written and lovingly dedicated to Jerry Lee Hamilton by his mother.
