In memory of

Charlotte (Chuckie)

Burtner

whose birthday is

September 18.

God looked around His garden

And He found an empty place.

He then looked down upon this earth,

And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you

And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful,

He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,

He knew that you were in pain,

He knew that you would never

Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough,

And the hills were hard to climb,

So He closed your weary eyelids,

And whispered, “Peace Be Thine.”

It broke my heart to lose you

But you didn’t go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,

Your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you,

You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again
