Interment 
Her Journeys Just Begun 
Don't think of her as gone away, her journey's just begun 
life holds so many facets, this earth is but one 
Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears 
In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years 
Think of how she must be wishing, that we could know today 
How nothing but our sadness, can really pass away 
And think of her as living, in the hearts of those she touched 
For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much 
The LORD is my shepherd; 1 shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He 
leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteous- 
ness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear 
no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table be- 
fore me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of 
the LORD for ever. (Psalms 23)
