Im following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, -s... to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; oh yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My lifes been full, 1 savored much; good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all too brief; dont lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. -c >- Znwt'Jetfeemeafe We, the family, wish to express our deepest appreciation and sincere thanks to all for your acts of kindness shown during our time of bereavement.
