Dont grieve for me, for now Im free

Im following the path God has 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

>.

To laugh, to love, to work or play,

Tasks left undone must stay that way

1 found peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joys.

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, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your hearts, and share with me,

God wanted me NOW, He has set me free.

With grateful appreciation and love we, the family of Murry Lively, wish to express sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love, thoughtfulness, and support during these most trying times. May God bless each and every one of you for your many acts of kindness.
