A Special Poem for Mrs. Mary Credeur:

Though selfish is the reason

To want to hold you here

The Love youve woven into our hearts

Will forever keep you near

The pain that burdened your life

Will burden you no more

As your life will be Abundant with Riches

And with the Angels you will soar

The sacrifices youve made

Are the person youd become

For All the gifts of Love you shared

Are outshined by none.

No Soul more deserving

Of Peace than your own

Which the Lord is prepared to provide

As he has called you home.

The spirit of an angel

Instilled deep inside

For the ones you cherished

Youd pushed your self aside.

You gave of yourself

For your family in need

And the Lord will afford

The same for you Indeed

One the wings of your faith
