Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
Its far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know...
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
lb walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
We wish to thank each of you for the kindness shown to us in
our hours of need. Your words of comfort, calls, and many kind
deeds were truly appreciated. Your expressions of love helped to
sustain and strengthen us through our sadness and sorrow. May
God continue to bless each of you in a mighty way. - The Family
