TO MY FAMILY
11When I Must Leave You"
When I must leave you For a little while-
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same, Feed not your loneliness on empty days But fill each waking hour in useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you
and hold you near. And never, never be afraid to die, for I am waiting for you in the sky!
....Helen Steiner Rice
I will never leave thee, nor forsa ke thee. Hebrews 13:5
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Perhaps you sang a touching song or came and just sat quietly in a chair, perhaps you sent lovely flowers, if so we saw them
there. Perhaps you sent or spoke comforting words or helped us each day..Perhaps you prepared some tasty food or maybe furnished a car; perhaps you rendered a service unseen , right here or afar. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you sincerely-w hatever the part.
