Beloved son, brother and friend
We Love You
"On Angel's wings our son and friend rest,
Our love for him has stood the test.
In God's trust we place him now,
With a trace of sorrow upon our brow.
His gentle spirit and loving eyes,
Watch over us as we cry.
Tears softly fall down our face,
As we entrust him into God's gentle grace.
Memories remain within our hearts,
Of times we thought we'd never part.
With love and laughter and happy thoughts,
Of all the fun he brought.
Our love for him will never end,
He will eternally be our loving friend.
May God keep him safe,
And may he find peace in his heavenly place."
In Loving memory of Jeremy Patrick Falkner
