Brunetta, we will always cherish your memory. We thank God
that you have been a part of our lives. We will miss you so much.
Your pain is gone and now you're healed.

God saw the footsteps falter;
That the hills were too steep to climb;
Then He closed the weary eyelids,
And whispered, "Peace be thine."
