Safely Home 
lam home in Heaven, dear ones; 
Oh, so happy and so bright! 
There is perfect joy and beauty 
In this everlasting light. 
All the pain and grief is over, 
Every restless tossing passed; 
1 am now at peace forever, 
Safely home in Heaven at last. 
Did you wonder I so calmly 
Trod the valley of the shade? 
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined 
Every dark and fearful glade. 
And He came Himself to meet me 
In that way so hard to tread; 
And with Jesus'arm to lean on 
Could I have one doubt or dread? 
Then you must not grieve so sorely, 
For I love you dearly still; 
Try to look beyond earth's shadows, 
Pray to trust our Father's will.

The family wishes to thank everyone for all acts of kindness shown
