Precious Memories
As clear as a loving word or touch
of a hand so warm and clear
Are the memories of our loved ones that
we treasure and hold near.
A favorite song or picture often causes
us to recall, the many special times
that were the dearest ones of all.
And although time will heal the loss
we will never be far apart
Because God's gift of memory will always
be a treasure in our hearts.
May the special memories of all the deceased members
of the Lankford Family always live in our hearts.
