Wep notfor me though I am gone into the gentle night.
Grieve ifyou will but notfor long, upon my soul's sweetflight.
I am atpeace, my soul's at rest. There is no needfor tears. For withyour love I was blessedfor all those manyyears.
There is no pain, I suffer not, the fear now all is gone. Put now these things out ofyour thoughts.
In your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath; Remember not the strife. Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
TRIBUTE
fJ'wenty-thirtf (['sa{m
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 names' 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 forever.

Amen.
