There is such great comfort in the certainty
that we are not alone in our hour of seeming loss... and that assurance is made visible by the innumerable wann and sincere expressions of care and concern. Your visits, telephone calls, messages, telegrams, beautiful floral offerings and especially your fervent prayers
whispered in our behalf, are greatly appreciated.
Each l~ind deed mal~es real the promise of our Saviour,
"Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted"

When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourseH
to me with tears. Be thankful for our beautiful years. I gave you my love. You can only guess How much you gave me in happiness I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I have
traveled alone. So grieve awhile 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 away, for
life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can't see me 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"
