We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name; All we have now are memories,

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we will never part;

God has you in his keep, We have you in our heart.

It broke our heart to lose you.

But you didn't go alone, For a part of us went with you...

The day God took you home.

The Family Acknowledgment We, the family of Patricia Moorer, would like to express our sincere gratitude to

those of you who so kindly celebrated her life along with us today. Your kindness and support will always remain in our hearts.

May God bless each of you with His grace and favor.

Reflections of Her Life "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to

everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to

righteousness as the stars forever and ever."

Daniel 12:2-3 (KJV)

Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.

In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, Just look for me and love me,

as you know I loved you.

Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.

In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,

Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.

It won't be forever, the day will come and then My loving arms will hold you,

when we meet again.

Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.

Every waking moment, and all your whole life through

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Just wish me to be near you, And I'll be there with you.
