We can never put into words how much your thoughtfulness means. May God bless eac~ and every one of you!
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, - We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place, Far greater than w~ know. For some the journey's quicker, For some the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace, Together with the lord 1

You lit the way Lord, as I journeyed down life's road You lead the way, Dear Father, and lifted my heavy load.
Your love carried me, on the path that leads to you. My journey seemed to shorten and life is fresh and new. Thank you Heavenly Father for all the love you've shown;
And guiding, ever-guiding me, gently to Your Home.
