You could not walk – Now you can ski
You could not see – Now you have eyes of an eagle
You could not talk – Now you can sing
Dear Sarah, at the cottage on the Eagle Chain, together we took our last pontoon ride. God has now taken you from us to be with him in heaven. Like the loons on the water, we will only part a short while. For one day we shall follow and be TOGETHER FOREVER. Love Mom and Dad
