We raise our brother, Richard, up,
his hurt is deep inside,
and he longs to be with Linda,
his precious lovely bride.

The two of them have suffered so,
their path has been steep and rough,
but in His mercy, God took her home,
He knew she'd suffered enough.

Please let Richard know, my Lord,
that there are lots of us who care,
and that we'll be here for him,
'til he meets her in the air.

Your sister in Christ,
Peggy McIlveene
