Reach down "I cried" Dear Jesus and take my trembling hand, the path o f this illness is lonely and I do not understand.
The Landmarks on the road ahead they're hiddenfrom my view, then Jesus whispered softly Fear not, I'll carry you.
So now, through darkness deep I am divinely blessed, fo r come what may
within his arms I rest -1 quietly rest.
The family of Tom Bell Kenner acknowledges with sincere appreciation
the many acts of kindness and expressions o f sympathy extended during
this time o f bereavement.
