Because you cared, You came to share beautiful flowers and words of prayer.
Because you cared, Enough to send words of comfort
on cards and came too. Because you cared,
We're not alone... calls and visits reached our home. Because you cared,
We're grateful, indeed ... you've been a comfort to a friend in need . Because you cared,
We are able to bear the grief and sorrow... there is no despair. Because you cared,
We're praying too, for God's richest blessings to be upon each of you.

Don't spend too much time in mourning, tears are for the sad, I left to be with Jesus, and this should make you glad.
Don't waste your hours in grieving, no need to feel distress. I'm tired oflife's frustrations, and had to get some rest.
Don't vex yourselfwith questions, or try to reason why; Life here for me was ended, it came my time to die.
Don't lose the love I gave )vu ... feed it with devotion, and spread it everywhere.
Don't fret because my leaving came in such a way, We'll have another meeting in God's Eternal Day.
