D on 't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid fo r me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my hack and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. 'Risks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close o f day. I f my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; oh yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times o f son'ow. I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief; don't lengthen it now with undue g rie f Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
The family would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all who extended their prayers, acknowledgements, telephone calls and all other acts of kindness during our time of bereavement. May God continue to bless each of you for the love that you have shown us during this time.
