Reno Mutchler Wakte Gli
“Comes back from war” You left us beautiful memories, your love is still
our guide, although we cannot see you you’re always at our side. And you will always be
in our hearts and in our prayers. Love You, Dad
God Saw You Getting Tired God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, "come to me."
You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back To suffer that again.
Dad, & Grandpa A million times we thought of you,
A million times we cried, If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place No one could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you
IN LOVING MEMORY OF:
Reno Mutchler Wakte Gli
