My Pt!cious Son
Unendingly I mourn my precious son Too early yet this earthly home he left, Perfidious sleep confounded nature's order
to leave his loves perpetually bereft.
Those golden dreams and aspirations, the seed of yesterday a withered bloom, those baubles which are cause to celebrate in death now mock us gently from his tomb.
How treacherous death does steal on youth's exuberance, To wreak such havoc from the ecstasy of life, Where once was only joy and future promise Tormented hearts endure eternal strife.
Love your Mother Lillie Mae Price

Your Loving Heart
Oh Lord, how wonderful it is, seeing the works ofyour creation; for nature's wonders must surely be a reflection ofyour relation.
Numerous are the gifts you give to all those you love. From the scent ofthe fragrant earth to the starlit heavens above, blessed are the eyes
that see the beauty that you imparlj and blessed is the soul that knows it comes from your loving heart.
In the quiet ofthe evening as I give thanks to you above, Oh what a sweet reliefit is feeling secure in your heart ofJove.
Love your Brother Joseph M. Millhouse

Memories I cherished. .... We will missyou and alwqys rememberyour smile!

lAM FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God had 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 play,

1

Tasks undone must stay that way

f

I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes those things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish for you the Sunshine of tomo rrow my life's been full. I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all so brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief, and tears.

Lift up your hearts and share with me. God wants me now.

He has set me free

I fought the goodfight, finished my course and kept thefaith!

Life is and old violin with so little worth, a life may be far less than grand, but can be transformed in a moment you see by the gentle
Touch ofthe Master's Hand.....

He Lights My Way
Jesus lights the way for me as I travel the pathway of life; From the day I let him in my heart.
He has brought me through pain and strife. In places that seemed so dark, His light has brightened my way.
I feel His presence in my heart, and I see His guidance everyday; He guides through clouds of sorrow, when the storms of life seem dim; I never have to stumble or fall, knowing I can depend on Him.
You, too, can walk in brightness, by receiving this wonderful friend; He gives us real joy and assurance, offers us peace that will
never end.
Love your sisters Li{Cie (])ean Leggett anaCJeraUJ{as6erry

My Comfort Blanket
God understands my aching heart, he sees my hidden tears.
Tho all alone, I trust in him to guide me through these lonely years.
When sorrow overwhelms me, I go to God in prayer. I carry on with faith andhope.....
Knowing He is always there. My God is my comfort blanket. He wraps me in His warming care. When the specter of loneliness
shadows me: He hears my entreating prayers...

Believe in God and Believe also in me.....
There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so.
zo And after I and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take
you to myself, or that you will be where I am. Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does .... Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid...
John 14: 1-3, 27
To the man I loved with ALL my heart, L-is for the laughter we shared every day.
0- is for the obsession of things you loved so dear. V- is for your voice; that I will n1iss.
E- is for eternity now that you're zone home.
I love you baby and one day I'll meet you at home. Until we meet again.... Love Octavia 11oyd
