When All Is Done
When all is done, and my lust word is said, And ye who loved me murmur, "He is dead." Let no one weep, forfear that I should know,
And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so.
When all is done, say not my day is oer, And that thronight I seek a dimmer shore; Say rather that my mom has just begun;
1 greet the dawn and not a setting sun. When all is done.

A Fathers touch, A Daddys kiss, A grieving Daughter, Youre greatly missed.
A broken heart, Tear filled eye, Another soul to fill the sky.
Many memories in my mind, Some I laugh, Some I cry.
The times we shared, The laughs we had, Things I miss when I think ofyou Dad. Realizing thats all I have to hold on too, Only memories, Of what once was you. Missing your laugh, I will never again hear. That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.
No more smile on your face, No more warmth of your embrace.
The last hug, The last kiss . . .
The family of James E. Gaines expresses sincere appreciation for the many acts of kindness you have shown during the passing of our loved one. May God continue to bless each and every one of you.
