KARTER WYATT
November 2, 2006
It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of little Karter Michael Wyatt, beloved baby boy of Chrissy Semaganis and Tim Wyatt. A private family time of reflection will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel. I'm just a little feller Who didn't quite make it there; I went straight to be with Jesus But I'm waiting for you here. Don't you fret about me Mommy, I'm of all God's lambs most blest; I'd loved to stay there with you, But the Shepherd knows what's best. Many dwelling here where I live, Waited years to enter in; Struggled through a world of sorrow And their lives were marred with sin. So, sweet Mommy, don't you sorrow, Wipe those tears and chase the gloom; I went straight to Jesus' bosom >From my lovely Mother's womb. Thank-you for the life you gave me, It was brief, but don't complain; I have all of Heaven's glory, Suffered none of earthling's pain.
