LET GO, LET GOD 
Today "I, let go and I let God,  
Take charge of this life of mine. 
Now in the dark the comers of my soul 
His light is beginning to shine 
All of the cares and worries 
I carry around for so long 
He lifted them from my shoulders 
And filled my heart with his song. 
Problems that were overwhelming 
Suddenly seem very small 
And come what may starting today 
I know I can handle them all! 
If you are troubled, "Let go, Let God" 
Take charge of your life for you, 
And, however, dark life's shadow may seem 
His light will come shining through! 
Doris A. Orth 
Dear Granddaddy, 
Ive missed you dearly. I want you to know that its not important why 
you died, because I know hou you lived. 
I am not concerned about your gains because I know what you gave. I now 
you had a big heart. You were always ready with a word of good cheer. I know 
you loved our Church first and served deligently in many other. 
And, of course, you were always a friend to others in time of need. 
Oh granddaddy when you are marching around Gods throne do me a 
favor, tell Heaven I am coming. 
Love Dianne
