"WE DO NOT SAY GOODBYE We do rwt say g 1)odbye who come to mourn,
The tears we l~ry are really rwt for you. We are the lonely, we are sad, forlorn For wmn you died a part of us died to.
It for us ~he living to endure The aching pains your passing left behind,
Your happirw~s is finally secure,
You luwe tm peace which none of us can find.
The reason you were chosen can't be known. We would have kept you longer if we could,
But God called you unto His very own, He surely must have thought thai, you were good,
While missing yo1I will make life incomplete, The memory ofyour presence will not die,
And since some happy ~ again ux~ U meet . As you proceed we do not say Goodbye.
Thefamily ofthe late 1\.1:r. James D. McConnel~ Sr.
wishes to thank each ai,.d everyonefor their prayers,
cards, words ofcomfort .t.nd love during the loss ofour loved one. May '~}od bless each ofyou.
