Anna Ferrere

In loving memory of our beloved Anna Ferrere whose birthday is January 27.

Letting Go

The angels gathered near your bed, so very close to you.

For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through.

We thought about so many things, as we held tightly to your hand.

Oh, how we wished that you were strong and happy once again.

But your eyes were looking homeward, to that place beyond the sky.

Where Jesus held His outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye.

We struggled with our selfish thoughts, for we wanted you to stay.

So we could walk and talk again, like we did — just yesterday.

But Jesus knew the answer, and we knew He loved you so.

So we gave to you life's greatest gift, the gift of letting go.

Happy Birthday!
