No Time
I had no time for sadfarewells, For parting glances or sighs, The Lord has come and bid me Go with Him bevond the skies.
1 could not even linger, There was no time at all, The had come, no choice had I, But to ansM'er our God's call.
I could not stop to tell you, Yourfaces no longer will 1 see,
I did not know how quickly Our God would sendfor me.
Don't even stop to wonder Why could not say good-bye Just live and remember that there will be A reunion for us in the sweet by and by.
The family acknowledges with sincere and deep appreciation all acts o f kindness rendered during their time o f bereavement. Your thoughtfulness and kind deeds will always be remembered.
