A TRIBUTE
Yours was a useful life,
you wrought well while you were here;
You were generous with your time
As you toiled from year to year.
Many a life did you toucn,
.I
Always doing your part,_
.! f
Glad to serve when called upon
With a meek and humble heart
Your life was dedicated to things noble & true
It was no task for you to
Do the work that you wanted to do.
You'll never be forgotten
Thoughyou have passed away;
The deeds you've left behind,
Will live on each day.
We didn't want to give you up,
Sleep, sleep on, take your rest;
This act of God we dare not question,
For he alone knows best.

Don't grieve f~r me, for now I'm fr~e. I'm following the path God has laid you
see. I took His hand when I heard His 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 the peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void.
Then fill it with remembered joys,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's
touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undo grief. Lift up your heart, and peace to thee. God wanted me now; He has set me free.
