“A precious one from us is gone

A voice we loved is still

A place is vacant in our home

That never can be filled.

Memories will live within our hearts

And help us bear our grief

God called her home to give her rest

From pain, as sweet relief.”

Services have been entrusted to Robertson County Funeral Home
