There's nothing your true love can

For God our Father will teach us
All are happy there
And free from all care
No harm, no sorrow can reach us.
May God still spare you
MAY time still endear you
To all those who shall touch your life
Till the end shall come,
Then in our new Home ~
Well still love this husband and wife.
We greet you today
In this pleasant way
Your friendship we prize as pure gold.
We know God will HESS

Lives like yours can never grow old.
