Pioneer Press - Twin Cities, IN LOVING MEMORY OF KERRI RAE (MYERS) PRICE Born in Christ Sept. 9, 1971 Adopted in Love Jan. 18, 1972 Returned to God Oct. 31, 2005 GOD'S LENT CHILD "I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine," God said. "For you to love the while she lives and mourn for when she's dead. It may be six or seven years or thirty-two or three, but will you, 'til I call her back, take care of her for me? She will bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief you'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there, I want this child to learn. I've looked this wide world over in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labour vain, nor hate me when I come to call and take her back again." I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy the child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter her with tenderness, and love her while we may and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should the angels call for her, much sooner than we planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand." by Edgar A. Guest Happy 44th Birthday! Love, Mom & Dad Myers
