 The Victorious Life 
In tears, we saw you sinking, our hearts were nearly broken, When you fought so hard to stay. 
But, when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain, 
we couldn't wish you back to suffer again. 
It's lonely here without you, And sad in every way, 
For life will never be the same for us, Since you've been called away. 
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone, 
For a part of us went with you, The day you left for home. 
 
 To everything there is a season ... A Time to be Born,

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 of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. 
Psalm 23

 A Tribute From The Family 
God saw the road was getting rough, The hills were hard to climb; 
He gently closed those loving eyses, And whispered "Peace Be Thine" The weary hours, the days ofpain, The sleepless nights are passed; The ever present worn outframe 
Has found sweet rest at last; In Gods eternal home 
Where there is no pain or sorrow, We hope to see your loving face; In that peaceful, never ending tomorrow.
