God Took Another Angel Home

You laid there in that hospital
bed, you tried so hard to hold on.

God was calling you home. He needed
another angel to help pour out the rain.

Tears have fallen, hearts where shattered,
but it was time for you to fly home.

Your loved ones came to say their last goodbyes,
to tell you they loved you, and that you will be forever missed.

As your heartbeat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed,
God took another angel home.

To our precious Zia, We love so much, we will miss you,but please wait,we will meet once again,In the kingdom of heaven,where no pain we will feel.

Condolences to my cousins and their families as there are no words to express the pain and difficulty you are enduring through this time.
Ricordiamo con affetto la cara ZXia Gabriela e vi siamo vicini nel vostro dolore.

Tanti Bacci a tutti voi.
