Life Wont E^er Be The Same
Mr. Fred L. Alien
You left us in the dark of night, without a single word to say; but then we stopped to think, that God wanted it just this way. Well not question His decision, He always knows whats best; we know that you were tired, now youre going home to rest. Only our God knew the pain, as you lay there night after night; so he sent forth a Heavenly angel, in the darkness to be your light. Oh how peaceful it must be, to be going to a distant land; as you reach your destination, then to shake the masters hand. Im told its a beautiful little . ; iy, where man shall suffer no more; just on the other side ofJordan, there on Gods eternal shore. Y>u are going to be with daddy, our sister, and our dear mother; what a family reunion it will be, whc .-, ngain you see our brother. Although we already miss you, we stand not at the grave in fear; for it lio^ds your earthly remains, and your soul is not buried there. Life wont ever be the same now, but we realize it was time to go; as you travel to that Holy City, there on Gods celestial Shore.
J. Willie Lewis, Jr. (Brother-in-Law)
