“Hayden” – Poem written by Bonnie Harris
Your eternal life in Heaven with the Father has begun.
You’ve received salvation’s mercy by believing in God’s Son.
Oh, what joy you must be feeling, such tranquility and peace;
In a place that’s filled with splendor, where all tears forever cease.
Streets of gold are now beneath you, skies of blue above your head.
Laughter, rainbows, rays of sunshine, are surrounding you instead.
Your sweet temple, though so young, has been raised to life anew.
You now dwell within a mansion, made especially for you.
Days and nights filled with such wonders that our minds can’t comprehend.
So much glory round about you, of which there will be no end.
What a day of celebration as the angels sweetly sing;
“Hayden, welcome, come and join us at the throne of Christ the King.”
We will miss you our dear Hayden; beloved brother, son and friend.
One day soon, we’ll be together; and we’ll embrace you once again.
We Love You Hayden,
Your Family and Friends

 

Alpha Tau Omega is hosting a GoFundMe to help with costs for the Raulerson family. There will be a vigil for Raulerson on Monday, June 18 at 8 p.m.
