Betty Irene Campbell

In loving memory of my beloved Betty Campbell who passed away six years ago today.

They say there is a reason, they say time will heal.

But neither time or reason will change the way I feel.

For no one knows the heartache that lies behind my smile.

No one knows how many times I've broken down and cried,

From hospital bed to heavenly rest, God took you home to be his guest.

You suffered much, your pleasures few,

You never deserved what you went thru,

You stood the test and took it well.

Just what you suffered, no one can tell,

Silent thoughts, tears unseen, wishing your absence was only a dream.

With tears in my eyes, I whisper down low,

Betty, I miss you so!

The Golden Gates stood open on that unhappy day,

With farewells left unspoken.

You quietly passed away.

God knew that you were suffering,

God knew you needed rest.

His garden must be beautiful - He only takes the best!
