Farewell
Farewell, my dear ones, dont weep,
For I am at peace now, just aheep.
Farewell, my children, Im not alone,
The Mighty Maker has led me safely home.
Just think back over the many years
We seemed so strong holding back tears,
Yet, somehow God always makes a way
And I thanked him every night for another day.
Be strong, my loved ones, always love one another
Be a thoughtful sister, be a kind brother
Be strong, my loved ones, strong in heart
The blood ties no one can part.
And if somewhere I made a mistake,
As you live many you will make.
Farewell, everyone, I have been called away,
Walk with God, trust Him every day.
And well all walk together in Heaven someday.

** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT **
The family wishes to thank their many friends for the many
expressions of sympathy during their hours of bereavement.
