Another Soldier gone

To get a great reward;

She fought the fight, she kept the faith

And now she has gone home to GOD.

Her soul has gone to GOD who giveth;

The earth will claim its own, her body;

But she is shouting around the throne

While we are left to mourn.

But some day we will meet again,

All our loved ones who have gone before;

Some day we will reach that happy land

Where parting will be no more.

Lovingly submitted,

The Family
