Committal/Benediction
A Little While....
Fill not your heart with pain and sorrow,
But remember me in every tomorrow....
Remember the joy the laughter, the smiles,
Fve only gone to rest a little while, Although my leaving
causes pain and grief My going has eased my hurt
And given me relief. So dry your eyes and remember me,
Not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will rememberyou all
And look on with a smile. Understand in your hearts Fve only gone to rest a little while.
