ing Memories
Your gentleface andpatient smile with sadness we recall, you had a kindly wordfor each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute, and stilled the heart, that loved us well and true; Ah, bitter was the trial to partfrom one so good as you.
You are notforgotten loved one nor will you ever be, as long as life and memory last we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, as time goes by we miss you more; your loving smile your gentle face, no one can fill your vacant place.

Only One (5tep
Do not grieve for me my dear ones. Now that I have gone away.
I have only stepped quietly through the door Into the dawn ofa brighter day. Ifyou could see the beauty,
Ofthe garden I am walking through, Ifyou couldfeel the touch ofHis hand,
You would want to walk here too. Ifyou could see the sunshine,
With no dark shadows lurking near. Ifyou could know the joy supreme,
Ifind with my Lord so dear Where no sorrow can never be You would be glad I slipped away, To this beautiful land ofeternity.
Ill be watching day by day And I will ask my Father to guide you,
Lest you falter along the way. So when the day is over,
And the night is drawing nigh, Ipray you too, find it only a step Where walk my precious Lord and I.
