D on't grieve for m e, for now I 'm free I 'm following the path G od has laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play, Tasks left undone must stay that way I found peace at the end o f the day.
I f my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss O h yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times o f sorrow, I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow, My life's been full, I savored much, G ood friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief D on't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your hearts, and share with me, G od wanted me now, He has set me free.
We sincerely thank our many friends for your prayers and express sympathy extended to us during the illness and loss of our loved o shall always remember with grateful appreciation all that you have < help us through this difficult time. Also, we would like to give a thank you to South Carolina Heart Center, Palmetto Health Hospi Flemming's Home Care Services. May God continue to bless all o f 1
