"~ ~(j g'J~"
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
-~
.!
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
l
And lead us not into temptations,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me.
and the glory, forever. Amen. - Matthew 6:9-13
-.~
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I couldn't stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I've found that peace 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 Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times ofsorrow, I wish you the sunshine oftomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, good times, good friends, a loved one's touch.
To our friends who have been very kind and thoughtful of us during the departure of our loved ones, we wish to express our sincere thanks. Your prayers have lightened our burdens; your visits and kind acts have given us strength and inspiration. May God abundantly bless each of you.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and rejoice with me. God called me now and He's set me "FREE".
