Family Tree
A leaf has fallen from the family tree , It whispers softly , don't weep for me
My time with you was precious and dear But now has come and gone
As I fell from your loving arms Jesus caugth me and took me home
Dry your tears for I am alright And think of me with a smile
Treasure all the memories as God gives you joy and sorrow will depart
We will see one another soon one day till then keep me in your hearts

"Words can not express our deepest gratitude
For the love that we have received from family,
Marketplace, and friends. Maybe you blessed us
With a card, a kind word of encouragement and
Comfort, a gentle hug, or listening ear. Whatever
God put on your heart to do we appreciate from
the heart. Thank you for the love.
Sincerely,
The Manley Family"
