I've done my work. I've sung my song I've done some good. I've done some wrong
I shall go where I belong The Lord has willed it so.
He knows by heart, and every thought He knows what pain andjo y I've brought
And by His love I shall be taught The way to Him. I know.
He guides my steps and He knows best, He will not harm, where He is blest And so goodnight, I'll take my rest. Where sweet wild roses grow. **********

With grateful hearts, we acknowledge the many kindnesses performed throughout this period Sometimes it's hard to understand, but faith was made for times like these. Each sympathetic gesture has served as a source of comfort. May the peace of the Lord be with you always.
