Carmel Road- Gay, GA Pastor Willie Sinkfield, Officiating Minister Pastor Willie Sinkfield, Eulogist THE FALLEN LIMB A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don't worry about falls I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes we're together again.

One day I saw a sign that read, "HEAVEN GROCERY STORE". As I got a little closer, the door came open wide. And when I came to myself, I was standing inside. I saw a host of angels they vvere standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and said "My child shop with care". Everything that a Christian needed was in that grocery store, and all that you couldn't carry you could come back for more. Rrst, I got some PATIENCE, LOVE was in the same row. Further down was UNDERSTANDING you need that wherever you go. I got a box or two of WISDOIVI and a bag or two of FAITH. I just couldn't miss the HOLY GHOST, for it was all over the place. I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run the race. By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some GRACE I didn't forget SALVATION for SALVATION was free. So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me. Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill. For I thought I had everything to do my MASTER'S WILL As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER, and I just had to put it in For I know when I stepped outside I would run right into SIN. PEACE and JOY all plentiful they vvere on the last shelf. SONG and PRAISES vvere hanging near, so I just helped myself. Then I said to the angel, "Now how much do I ovve? He just smiled and said, '~ust take them everywhere you go. Again, I smiled at him and said, "How much do I ovve? He smiled again and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago. M E M 0 B I E s Remember me with smiles and laughter, as 1remember you. Not with tears and sorrows, because that's the way l'll remember you all 1{you remember me in tears, then don't remember me at all Be happyfor me, for 1am in heaven smiling down at you.
