WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN 
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed He'll be prayer for us a place. 
When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We will sing and shout the victory! 
While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav'ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh. 
Trusting, serving Just one glimpse Will the toils Qf 
 
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The Trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. 
IN THE SWEET BY AND BY 
There's a land that is fairer then day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there. 
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on the beautiful shore; 
the sweet by and by, 1meet on that beautiful shore. 
We shall sing on that beautiful shore  llloc1i011s songs of the blessed; our spirits shall sorrow no more, 
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. 
 
IT 
Though Satan should buffet, Though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed his own blood for my soul. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise The Lord, 0 my soul! 
 
Some glad 
I'll fly away; To a home on~~~~~-. I'll fly away 
 
I'll fly away, 
 
lory 
 
I'll fly away; (in the morning) 
 
When I die, Hallelujah by-and-by 
 
I'll fly away. 
 
When the shadows of life have gone, I'll fly away; Like a bird from prison bars has flown , I'll fly away. 
 
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away; To a land where joy shall never end, I'll fly away.

 WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER 
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more, And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair; When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore, And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 
When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 
On that bright and cloudless mornn1g Christ shaJ 1rise, And the glory of His When His chosen ones the skies, And the roll is cal 
done, And the roll is 
 
SHALL GATHER AT THE RIVER 
Shall we gather at the river, Where the bright angel feet have trod, With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God? 
Yes, we'll gather at the river, The beautiful, the beautiful river; Gather with the saints at the river That flows by the throne of God. 
On the margin of the river, Washing up its silver spray, 
will talk and worship ever, happy golden day. 
Ere we reach the shining river, ~'erv burden down; our spirits wilJ deliver, 
And provide a robe and crown. 
 
Oh what On that happy Oh what glory, Hallelujah When we meet our blessed Savior in the skies. 
Seems that now I almost see, all the sainted dead, Rising for the jubilee, that is just ahead; In the twinkling of an eye, changed with them to be All the living saints to fly, to that jubilee. 
When with all that heavenly host, we begin to sing Singing in the Holy Ghost, how they heavens will ring, Millions there will join the song, with them we shall be Praising Christ through ages long, heavens jubilee 
 
w, Where I'm going? 
If anybody ask you, Where I'm going Where I'm going soon 
I'm goin' up yonder, I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder, To be with my Lord 
I can take the pain, The heartaches they bring The comfort in knowing, I'll soon be gone 
As God gives me grace, I'll run this race Until I see my Savior, Face to face 
I'm goin' up yonder, I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder, To be with my Lord

 These three years and six months have been difficult and trying 
 
to say the least. Since mom was diagnosed with cancer and 
 
subsequently suffered a stroke, it has caused a great amount of 
 
anxiety. Maintaining a vigilance of prayer, seasoned with hope 
 
that mom would not succumb to this illness has taken a toll 
 
especially after receiving calls which indicated she was losing 
 
her battle for life. 
 
However, during this time, God allowed me to see His 
 
plan. God gave time for a harmonious change to take place 
 
throughout our family. Although difficulties were present, what 
 
seemed to be labor went through a metamorphosis from labor to 
 
a labor of love. These three years and six months

Mom, I know that God is well pleased with His good and faithful servant. I will always miss your laughter and the many things that you taught me. You have touched many lives and left a lasting legacy. The lesson that you taught me that will always stay with me is that, "anything that is worth doing is worth doing well". With all my LOVE Rudel E. Rymer2

Tribute to my 
I am honored to be able to pay tribute to my Mother in Law, Mom Rymer. My message to my husband Jay (Sam), and my brothers Rudel, Raymond, Roy, Rodney and Reuben (Leon) is to say thank you for sharing Mom. She was a fire and brimstone preacher who didn't mince words. Her ultimate goal in life was to make sure that all her sons would make it to heaven. Mom had a generous and welcoming spirit and accepted my family as her family. I will miss her dearly but I will not grieve for her as though I have no hope (1 Thessalonians 13-14). Mom exemplified the true essence of the "French Weed" (an actual weed that is very hard to get rid of) and proof that God has the final say! In 2010 when Mom was diagnosed, the doctors gave her months to live, but God.... ! So excuse me while I get my praise on. I have an attitude of gratitude! Thank you Lord! Shirley R. Rymer 
 
My Tribute What more could I say? Heaven is much sweeter with you there. Our lives were bonded together with unchanging love, unity and a great ministry. We were soul mates and I shall think of you as I strive to finish my race and stay faithful in the ministry. Our heavenly Father did not see fit for us to leave together but He has promised to strengthen, uphold and be with me to the end. So you be watching for my coming because one day I will enter one of those Pearly Gates. Mona, oh how I miss you, but at the same time I am happy because all your cares are passed and you are home at last. Enjoy your well earned rest. You have fought a good fight, you have finished your race and you have kept the faith. Wear your crown and be  for me, for I will be there too. 
Affectionately, Mommy Vanita

 Tribute to my sister Ramona 
I love my sister. I will always remember her as my third mom. I am grateful for her taking me to the Virgin Island when I needed to get away. When she came to Rhode Island I was glad that she was able to spend time with me. She was always thoughtful of my wellbeing and health. I will miss her greatly, but I look forward to meeting her with the rest of the family who have gone on before me. Rosalyn Brewster

Tribute to the Samuel, Rudel, Raymond, Roy, Rodney and Leon Rymer; It is with sadden and broken hearts that we are sorry about your loss. The passing of your mother has no doubt left a void in your lives no one can fill but God, who is our refuge and strength in times like these. Take comfort in the fact that earthly loss is heavenly gain, as those who live in Christ will die in him. We believe this holds true in the loss of your beloved mother, gone from this life to a new and glorious life where she will never die. Again our warmest condolences; be of good courage and he shall strengthen your hearts. Your cousins, James, Peggy, Wade, and Sybil

were overwhelming. She never let me forget that no matter 
 
what I accomplished it would mean nothing unless I had 
 
God in my life. Although I was unable to share that I had 
 
accomplished my goal before she passed I know she would 
 
have been proud of me. Most important I know she would 
 
be happy to know I plan to have God in my life in 
 
everything I do. I know she is no longer in pain and she is

GOD TO ALLOW EVANGELIST THOUGH FORA TO RESIDE IN HER HOME, TO BE MARRIED , 0 BE A SISTER TO HER SONS, AND THE DAUGHTER SHE ALWAYS WANTED.

Words cannot express how I feel about your passing. We are glad that you are in a better place with your "Ben" again. I am definitely your granddaughter and your first grandchild. Really! Because you have all boys (6) and I also will have all boys (3)! I'm just going to leave you as the champ with the most boys for I'm done with having kids! We will keep your memories alive in us, so sleep in peace until we see you again. Your loving granddaughter and

My Ufe's been full, Isavoured much, Good friend s, good times, a loved one' 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. 
 
Don't grieve forme, for no w I'm free, I'm follo wing the path God laid form e. Itook his hand when Iheard his call, Iturned my back and left it all. Icould not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.

"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth 
 
favour of the Lord", Proverbs 18:22.To her sons, she 
 
represented a beautiful mother physically, spiritually strong, 
 
a womanly role model fully rooted in unconditional love 
 
from the inside radiating to outside. You can still see it even 
 
now in her smile and all felt it in her caress. To her 
 
grandchildren she was grand. To her church members and 
 
friends she was "light" that shined across the building 
 
beaming God's assurance. To her dearest friends and adult 
 
family she was just "Ramona"... God's gift to . each of
