Tiny Cecelia Gilliland Jensen's Obituary
You’re Our Star In Heaven
MOM
We are sending a dove to Heaven With a parcel on its wings
Be careful when you open it. It’s full of beautiful things
Inside are a million kisses wrapped up in a million hugs
To say how much, we miss you and send you all our love.
We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain.
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again
