Old Piney Grove Baptist Church Cemetery ** PALLBEARERS ** Grandsons ** FLOWER BEARERS ** Ushers Safely Home I am home in heaven dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the Shade? Oh! but Jesus'love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus'arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will. When our work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come! "Come to Me all of you who are burdened and I will give you rest." ** ACKNOW LEDGEM ENT ** With sincere hearts, we wish to acknowledge the many acts of kindness and offerings of assistance extended to us during our hours of bereavement. Each expression served as a source of comfort and inspiration. May God be with you always. Services Entrusted To LIBERTY MORTUARY North Augusta, South Carolina ( 803) 279-0026
