In Memory Of
TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME
When I am gone, release me, let me go . I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears Be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave to you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown.
But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a time that we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far, for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near And if you listen with your heart, you' ll hear
All my love around you soft and clear And then when you must come this way alone. I'll greet you with a smile, and say "Welcome Home! "

The Obituary
23rdPsalm
The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want, He maketh_me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths ofrighteousness for His names sake,
Yea, though I walk through the valley . ofthe shadow ofdeath,
I willfear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staffthey comfort me, Thou prepares! a table before me in the presence ofmine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days ofmy life;
And I shall dwell in the house ofthe Lordforever.

Life Without End-At Last! Song #15
Verse 1 Can you see, with your mind's eye, People dwelling together? Sorrow has passed. Peace at last! Life without tears and pain.
Chorus: Sing out with joy of heart. You, too, can have a part. Live for the day when you'll say: " "Life without end, at last!"
Verse 2: Man and beast, living in peace, Cause no harm to each other. Food will be there. All will share In what our God provides. (Chorus)
Verse 3: In those days old will grow young, Flesh revived as in childhood. Troubles are gone, from now on No need to weep or fear. (Chorus)
Verse 4: Paradise all will enjoy As they sing of God's glory. Yes, everyday we will say To God our Maker, "Thanks!" (Chorus)
