There's an open gate at the end of the road Through which each must go alone, And there is a light we cannot see, O ur Father claims His own; Beyond the gate, your loved one finds Happiness and rest And there is comfort in the thought That a loving G od knows best.
The family of the late James Willie Green, Jr., would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for all your prayers, u ords of encouragement and all other endeavors during our time of bereavement. ~ The Family
