'
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or to play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now. He set me free.
The family will be forever grateful for the love and kindness that you have shown during this time of bereavement. We are thankful fo~ ~e
outpouring of condolences through the cqmforting messages, VISits,
food, calls, prayers and the many other acts ol kindness.
