Preceded in death by: Parents, Brother: Charles E. Bates Jr. and Sister: Carol Jean Hatcliff.
God Looked around His garden
And found an empty space.
He then looked down upon this Earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And He lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
He knew you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well
Upon this Earth again.
He saw the roads getting rough.
And the hills hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
When God called you home.
