IN MEMORY OF BETTY MAGBY

To My Grandmother

I wish I could have been there
In her time of need
And now as I sit and ponder
My heart can't help but bleed.
The Lord has taken her from this world
For her Benefit I am sure
For now she has found a resting place
In the arms of Jesus so perfect and pure.
I want her to know I love her
I shall until it is my time
The memories that I hold are forever
For everyone who knew-not just mine.
So dear God, may she rest in peaceful silence
May her worries and suffering be no more
May her head rest on the softest pillow
And please, please take care of her.
You are the one she will always adore.
Love, RaeLinda
