Geraldine M. Rettig

In loving memory of our beloved Geraldine M. Rettig who passed away ten years ago today, December 30, 1998.

If tears could build a stairway

And memories were a lane

We would walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say goodbye,

You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.

Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow.

What it meant to lose you,

No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more

To remember all the happy times,

Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,

We pledge to you today

A hallowed place within our hearts

Is where you'll always stay.
