Don't grieve for me for now 1 am free, I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard His call, I turned my back and left it all I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Oh yes, these tilings I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee, God wanted me now, He set me free.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We wish to express our deepest appreciation for the many acts of kindness shown to us during the illness and loss of our loved one, We are especially thankful for those who have inspired us and helped us bear, our sorrow or whatever you did to console our hearts. May God bless each of you. Again, we thank you.
