GLADWIN - LAVERGNE
GLADWIN - LAVERGNE - In loving memory of our wonderful parents, Diddi and Art Gladwin, who passed away in 1990 and 1994, and their precious great grand-daughter, Miranda Lavergne, who passed away in March of this year.
God saw you were getting tired, When a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you And whispered, Come with Me.
He took you all to Heaven, And said, It's time to rest.
His garden must be beautiful For He only takes the best.
So dear God, give this message To our loved ones in Heaven above,
Tell them how much we miss them, And give them all our love.
Forever loved, sadly missed and in our hearts always.
The Family.
