REST NOW No more sorrow will be mine,
No more burden will I bear, No more heartaches will/ endure, Weighted down with endless care
Rest Now. While h ere on earth I did my best;
A friend to all / tried to be, This day, no regrets I have While you here looked at me.
Rest Now. No m ore w ill/ fret and worry, About what a day might bring,
I go now to a city, Where God 's H'.Jiy Angels sing.
.Rest Now.
TO OUR MOTHER There are women that we consider great,
But none to us was as great as she. In the time of need she was alw ays there,
It mattered not how much to spare; We never wanted for a bite to eat, Nor wondered where our heads we'd lay to sleep. She gave and she gave, we had not to ask, She gave us love that will forever last. For in God's Word she did mandate, She taught us to love and not to have; For her passing here was savely God's fate. We love you and we will miss you " M yme".
Quo Vades and Reginald
