Interment followed in Cenizo Hill Cemetery. THE REUNION HEART Since Heaven has become home I sometimes feel I'm so alone; and though we now are far apart you hold a big piece of my heart. I never knew how much I'd grieve when it was time for you to leave or just how much my heart would ache from that one fragment you would take. God lets this tender hold remain reminding me we'll meet again and one day all the pain will cease when He restores this missing piece. He'll turn to joy my every tear with thoughts of you I hold so dear, and they'll become my special way to treasure our Reunion Day.
