My six great losses ... Bill, my everything!


Bill's story you all know.  I offer you this poem by Ron Tranmer, to tell you of the hope that is in my heart.
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful 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 one by one,
The Chain will link again.

I will grieve you in the sunlight and live enough for two, until God calls my name.

  1. Very comforting poem, Ginette. I like this: "In life we loved you dearly,
    In death we do the same."
