<< Dear Lynn, I wish I had sent you this yesterday morning and that way the

Crew could have been informed beforehand. I'm sorry. The memorial service was

beautiful. Jordan would have been so pleased that Ben and I took the time to

remember and share with others how we loved her. I am lost without her at the

moment, and need to constantly remind myself that I must be grateful that her

pain has ceased. Is everyone O.K.? Love, Annette

God saw she was getting tired

With tearful eyes

We watched her suffer

And saw her fade away,

Although we loved her dearly,

We could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts

To prove to us

He only takes the best.

Song of God’s Love “When I Turn to Youâ€

Duncan

When I turn to you

You were always waiting

With a heart that understands before I speak

And I learn from you

All that really matters

Though, a million years go by

You’ll still love me

I no longer look for a place to hide

Cause I know where I belong

When I turn to you, when I turn to you, when I turn to you, Dear Lord,

I know that I love you

When I turn to you

You were watching over me

Through the eyes that look beyond the faults I see

And I learn from you

You were always merciful

Though I remember all that you’ve forgiven me

I no longer look for a place to hide

Cause I know where I belong

When I turn to you, when I turn to you, when I turn to you

I know, I know that I love you

I no longer look for a place to hide

Cause I know where I belong

When I turn to you, when I turn to you, when I turn to you, Dear Lord

I know that I love you

I know, Dear Lord, that I love you >>
