The Last Chapter
From the day of my beginning, I had a choice to make, To stay in sin forever, or the gift of love to take, Although there have been ups and downs, tears there were a few, By giving them to Jesus, they dissipated like the morning dew.
Its just the last chapter of the book that I am in, You know it had to close because of mankinds sin, Its just the last chapter for me today, dont mourn Rejoice instead family and friends, This is the Ive been working and waiting for, Ive gone to be with Jesus, now I can rest and be happy forever more; Ill be waiting on the other shore.

** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT **
The family wishes to express their appreciation for all acts of kindness shown to them in their hours of bereavement. Be grateful, God has not promised us sunshine, thats not the way its going to be, but a little rain mixed with Gods own sunshine, a little pain makes us appreciate the good times. Be grateful, be grateful.
