God looked around his Garden and
found an empty place.

He then looked down upon His earth and
saw your loving face.

He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest.

His Garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.

As the days come and go and the world moves on,

I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.

On the night the Angel came and
took your hand,

We cried as you left for an unknown land.

But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight,

For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

With broken hearts, we of the Santa Monica Branch offer our prayers for our departed sister, Judy Brantley.
