I cannot mend my broken heart
Learning I have lost my friend
Once my time has come and gone
Next time we take and meet again
A silent prayer for you I send
Hoping now that you can finally rest
Even though my heart still hurts
Losing you will never stop
My love for you and your time on earth
I miss you I love you I will never forget you
While your time on earth was short
I feel your presence with us today
Calming us as we deal with sorrow
Keeping us from going insane
Still our hearts it beats tomorrow
Till our time has come and gone
Remember that our time is borrowed
Our time on earth is not to long
May you be at peace and never forgotten
I’m extremely sorry for your lose but she’s no longer in pain but in peace I have known Ilona for many years she’s a very sweet exceptional woman she was always young at heart. Ilona had that special laughter that captivates so does her mom Pearl She will be dearly missed by all Rest in peace oh sweat soul Love Della Mike Marshall and Family
Forever friends are once in a lifetime commitment
To never take for granted of what you got
Friends forever don’t care about your predicament
Good time charlie’s is what they are not
When no one will stand by you but one or two at most
When things fall all around you the rest become a ghost
When trouble all surrounds you and others do not care
And When your at your lowest they’ll always be right there
And if you become homeless They’ll come to your aid
And when you are mistaken they’ll call a spade a spade
Mom & Papa
