Julia (Rangel) Bradley
Beloved Mother, Grand-Mother, Great-Grandmother, Great-Great-Grandmother, Aunt and Sister.

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place.
He then 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
He always takes the best.
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.
