I'm Free
D on't grieve for me, for now I 'm free, I 'm following the path G o d has laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play, tasks left undone must stay that w a y , I found peace at the end o f the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship, shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times o f sorrow, I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow, my life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief, lift up your hearts, and share with me, G o d wanted me N O W , He has set me free.
We sincerely thank each and everyone of you who shared your love for. us through prayers, telephone calls, visits and other acts of kindness extended to us during the loss of our beloved Brenda. We will always be touched and remember your thoughtfulness. We Love You.
~ The Family of Brenda Bell
