Nelson "Sonny" McKissick

In loving memory of my husband, Nelson "Sonny" McKissick, who passed away one year ago today.

GOD'S GARDENGod looked around His gardenAnd found an empty place,He then looked down upon the earthAnd saw your tired face.He put His arms around youAnd lifted you to rest.God's garden must be beautifulHe always takes the best.He saw that you were suffering,He knew that you were in pain,He knew that you would neverGet well on earth again.He saw the road was getting rough,And the hills were hard to climb,So He closed your weary eyelidsAnd whispered, "Peace Be Thine."It broke my heart to lose youBut you didn't go alone,For part of me went with you,The day God called you home.
