Missing you
Your struggling is no more
You’ve reached the other side
Because you’re gone, we can’t ignore
The pain of a void so wide
Conversations left unfinished
Stories left untold
Laughter and talks diminished
Before they could unfold
We rejoice in your destination
Yet we struggle to understand
But there’s no illumination
Only trusting in God’s plan
Your lively spirit’s gone away
We just felt it was too soon
We’ll see you again one day
Yet can’t help that sadness looms
You’d say not to cry
You’re in a better place
And we may even try
But missing you can’t be erased
We know you’re in heaven now
With God you’re close and dear
Yet forgive us anyhow
Because we just can’t stop the tears
We are sorry for your loss and those of us at Chapter #1 will miss him.

There is no sorrow that God will not share, no cross, no burden for your hearts ro bear.
Lay at Jesus feet the story of your woes, and in his sympathy find sweet repose.
With each new day may peace find a place in all of your hearts.
All my love Ma Battle.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Our hearts are with you in your struggle. Keep the faith. I was glad to have met your dad. He was really a hoot. Keep the faith.
Dear Krejci Family-
I enjoyed getting to know Elwood over the last four years I had him in the homecare program at the VA. He was one of my favorites and I will miss going out to the old schoolhouse to see him. He was a good man and I always got a kick out of his many adventures he would tell me about- especially all his great buys at auctions, rummage sales, and the like. I’m pretty sure he knew how to fix anything! I know you will miss him alot. Keep the memories of the good times close, they will get you through the coming days.
Holly
Sorry to hear your dad passed away.
He was a super good man.
