Analysis of Rest in Peace
It was God's love that brought her to this earth
As we watched and she nurtured so many from birth
She blossomed into a woman with a pure golden heart
Her gentle smile brightened our world from the start
A daughter, mother, and friend she held us so dear
Memories of her yesterdays reflect in a pristine tear
We say our farewells to your spirit in heaven above
You are now forever blessed with God's eternal love
