A million times we will miss you,
a million times we will cry
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place
no other one can fill
The golden gates stood open,
God saw you needed rest;
God’s garden must be happy,
for He always picks the best.
Thank you Sweetheart,
From your loving family

Patricia,
You were the light that brightened our day. Your
love was the purest and your encouraging words
motivated us all to be better. My heart aches to
know that you are no longer with
us. However, we’re truly
blessed to have had you in
our lives. Showering us
with love and goodwill.
We will miss you
endlessly, we’re
thankful for all the
favorable
memories that
we will cherish
forever.
Love you
little sister,
~Otha Biggs
