BANKE, Ketty Monday, 10 Mar 2008
Parksville, BC
February 1, 1934 ~ March 10, 2008
God's Garden
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's Garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you'd never ever
Get well on earth again
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine"
Then He took you up to Heaven
With Hands so gentle and kind
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God welcomed you home.
A celebration of Ketty's life will be held March 22nd.
