Requested: 

A loving one has said farewell, 
 And left our hearts a-chill, 
To join her loved ones over there, 
 Tho’ on this earth, she’s still. 

A precious one has slipped away. 
 From earthly pain and care – 
To rest from weary labors here, 
 And found sweet rest up there. 

We’ll miss her so, each day that dawns, 
 For vacant is her place, 
How empty is her cot tonight, 
 We miss her gentle grace. 

You’ll miss her loving favors, 
 You’ll miss your loving friend, 
Who loved you and stood by you, 
 With love unto life’s end.
