Why God takes those we love.
Does He need them more than we do,
In Heaven up above?
No one on earth can pretend
To know what’s in God’s plan.
All we can do is take it on faith
And trust we’ll see our loved ones again
We are heartbroken to hear the news of Janice’s passing. We loved her and will miss our stopover visits. Our prayers and love are with you all.
