m/&ree
Dont grieve for me, for now Im free,
Im following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when 1 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 that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My lifes been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Dont lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude for all acts
of kindness, love and prayers extended to us during our time of
bereavement. The Family
