We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in
death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, For part of us went
with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our
guide, and though we cannot see you, you’re always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and
nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Viewing will be held Friday, February 21st from 4:00-7:00pm in the Keefe Funeral Home, Five
Higginson Ave.,Lincoln, RI. Repass to follow for close friends and family.
