Tribute
I have done my work, I 've sung my song I 've traveled the roads near andfar Now myjourney has ended, God has called me to rest. Now that I am gone, release me to go You have so much to do
You must not tie yourselves to me with tears Be happy that you had me so many years God bless the memories that are in your hearts
I am gone but life goes on So when in need go to God, For 1 leave you in His care.

Words are inadequate to express the humbleness and gratefulness we

feel towards all of our friends who have consoled us during our

bereavement. Your prayers, your love, your presence, and your

service has sustained us. Your cards, flowers, visits, calls, and gifts

of food were warmly appreciated. We see all of these as God's love

expressed through you. Whatever you did to help console our hearts,

we thank you from the depths of our hearts. Thank you.
