Upon Heaven's Golden S fairs my friend stands. Oh, the;'qy she mustfeel as she holds the Master's hand. For like a bird in flight; my friend flew awqy in the night.
With wingsfluttering in the s~, she wavedgoodbye.
Over the mountains, over the sea.
GOD :r love set herfree.
She was GOD's masterpiece of
a loving and affectionate friend. S omedqy in Heaven we will meet again.
We walked through the doors offriendship.
With melodious music in every step, matry a secretfor each other we kept!
With a pleasant word and a cheery smile, alwqys willing to go the extra mile. Into each life some rain mustfalk she was a rainbow for us all.
Upon life :r road we must continue to go.
Somedqy I 'II meetyou on Heaven's Celestial Shore. My soul delights to feel we had
afriendship that was true and real.
When in the time oftroubleyou were afriend indeed. In the time ofsorrowyou were the strength indeed.
You were afountain ofgladness,
You were the friend who held my hand through life's madness.
You were an emblem oflight.
As the dqy transcend into darkness hue; Shirlry, I shall missyou. Star light, star bright,
My friend I bidyou "Goodnight. "
