SCHRINER CHARLOTTE 9/20/1948 to 9/21/2014 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We thought we saw her face today In the sparkle of the morning sun. And then we heard the angel say "Her work on earth is done." We thought we heard her voice today Then laugh her hearty laugh. And then we heard the angel say, "There's peace for her at last." We thought we felt her touch today In the breeze that rustled by. And then we heard the angel say "The spirit never dies." We thought that she had left us For the stars so far above And then we heard the angel say "She left you with her love." We thought that we would miss her And never find our way And then we heard the Angel say "She's with you every day." Love you and miss you, BILL and PATTI
