Troy Zitzman

Troy Zitzman

In memory of our deceased son, Troy Zitzman. Troy was born on June 26, 1987, and went home to be with the LORD on June 29, 2004.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide;

And though we cannot see you, you are always at 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.

Words cannot begin to express the thankfulness that we have for the

reality of the words of this poem. For the redeemed, death is only an

interruption in the

communion with our loved ones. What a blessing to know that “the chain will link again” when we join Troy-boy on Heaven’s shore!!!
