In Loving Memory of:

Phoebe Jean Silk September 16, 1960 ~ October 26, 2019

We’ll see each other Every now and then

And savor those moments Till we’re together again

Because distance isn’t about

Being far apart It’s about surviving

With only half a heart

But I’ll survive Because our love is true And you guys love me As much as I love you

- Whitney

Sometimes when you think when you are in the wrong just remember Jesus Christ

When you fall know who is there to pick you up again God loves all

He is a part of you Born into a world of sin

Live by Jesus’s words, follow him When you hear these words you are on your way

On your way with Jesus Christ in your heart God is there right from the start

Born into this world of sin I was innocent, never grew up with these ways until bible school.

Written By: Joshua Silk

Heaven Needed Mom

So many things of mom I miss Her gentle hug and tender kiss

I still can feel her warm embrace and picture yet her loving face A mother’s tasks are never done and heaven must have needed one

For angels came and took her hand and led her to gods promised land She’s surely kept quite busy there while brushing little angels hair

And making sure they’re dressed just right & not staying out too late at night Although there’s sadness this I know, moms, she’s waiting there

Her face aglow I close my eyes and I can see mom has her arms still open wide for me

- I love you MAMA, Whitts

Distance It’ll be heartache

It’ll be crying And it’ll take will

To keep on trying

It’s not for the weak Or those afraid of pain

It’s for two hearts That are one in the same

It won’t be easy

This much is true And it can’t be done alone

It’ll take two
