FAMILIES ARE FOREVER
Please keep us close together
And help us to be good
And always love each other
The way a family should.

When our lives are over
Please let us meet again
So we can be a family
Up in heaven, Lord, Amen

Note: I am not sure about the spelling of Merit/Merritt Rickman. I have seen it both ways.
My great grandfather, Harrison spelled Manley with an "e" in it. My grandfather Rev. A.J. Manly
Spelled it without the "e" therefore all of his descendants dropped it too
