IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our

loving mother

Shirley J. (Kriess) Barr

who passedaway one

year ago April 12, 2013

God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be,

He closed his arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me”.

In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away.

Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain,

We could not wish you back to suffer so again.

So keep your arms around her Lord, and give her special care.

Make up for all she suffered and all that seemed unfair.
