Our precious angel
Sleep, my little one, sleep

So small, so sweet, so soon
God’s gift to us – our gift to God

Our baby sunshine
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
In God’s care

She has kept the faith
She loved and was loved
God’s greatest gift returned to God – my mother
O. Lord I put her in your hands
A gentle woman
She loved everyone
She concealed her tears but shared her smiles
She walked in beauty
If our love could have saved her, she would not have died
When she left, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music
To know her was to love her
Sweet in her ways, observant in her mitzvas
Let her own works praise her at the gates
She passed through glory’s morning gate and walked in paradise
She served and kept the faith
She loved people and laughter
A woman of virtue, kindness and modesty
Her children rise up and call her blessed
May she be remembered as she remembered others
She gave so much and asked so little
A tender mother and a faithful friend
While she lives cherised in our memories she is never far away
