TO The Sturtevant Family: I am a friend of Dennis and Luana. My condolences to all of you! I know how it feel to lose someone so dear to your heart, someone that means the world to you. I wish you peace and the strength to guide you through your sorrow. I hope you find solace in knowing your beloved Husband, Dad, Grandfather, Greatgrandfather is with God now. God Bless you all. This poem eased my mind when I lost my eldest sister, hope it is helpful to you also. God’s Garden God looked around the garden and he found an empty space. And then He looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful for He only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never, be well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. Author Unknown
