MEMORIAL
TO OUR FIRST DAUGHTER
Toni Eileen
Brewer
Matthews
1946-1993
As
she grew, so did her Faith
Leaving
everything in God's Hands
A
GOOD NIGHT KISS
FOR ME
"Lord, You
knew
best when
you called her home
And You know
the hurt since she is gone.
But I thank You, Lord,
evermore for these
Her earthly life and
her memories.
I remember
her
courage, her strength I recall
Many times she
stumbled, but she did not fall.
The sparkle in her
eyes revealed her hope
With a smile
on her lips each time she spoke.
Lord,
whatever Your
will, You always know best
And this vapor
called
life is only a test.
So if it is Your
will,
I pray to Thee
Let an angel
in Heaven kiss her good night for me."
"First,
you count
the days
then the weeks.
Eventually the months
then the years,
Until you, yourself
close your eyes for that eternal sleep
"Tis then the counting
stops."
