OUR LITTLE ANGEL

When God calls little children to dwell with him above, We on earth sometimes
question the wisdom of his love. For no heartache compares with the death of one
small child, Who does so much to make our world seem so wonderful and mild.
God knows how much we need them and so he takes but few, To make the land
of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must
try. The saddest word mankind knows will always be goodbye. So when a little
child departs, we who are left behind must realize, God loves children, Angels are
hard to find. Sadly missed by: Mom and Dad, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles,
Nieces and Nephews.

Special thank you to the staff at Bellin Hospital, especially Cory Schmidt.
