In loving memory of our beloved Raymond Pfeifer who passed away three years ago today,

August 27, 2007.

Letting GoThe angels gathered near your sideSo very close to youFor they knew the trials in your lifeThat you were going through.I thought about so many thingsAs I held tightly to your handOh, how I wished that you were strongAnd happy once again.But your eyes were looking homewardTo that place beyond the skyWhere Jesus held His outstretched armsIt was time to say "goodbye".I struggled with my selfish thoughtsFor I wanted you to staySo we could walk and talk againLike we did . . . just yesterday.But Jesus knew the answerAnd I knew He loved you soSo I gave to you life's greatest giftThe gift of letting go.
