CORDOVA -- Julian J. Dearest Julian, We knew little that morning That God would call your name, In life, we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us home one by one The chain will link again... Love you always, Lena, children, grandchildren and family
