1 Thessalonians Chapter 4, Verses 1 4 - 1 8
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him For this we say unto you by the work of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord
shall not prevent them which are asleep For the Lord himself shall descent from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump
of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words

She was a very special lady. One who really shared.
She was a very special woman, Who cared about the things in life that only count.
Truly, can't you see She was a very special lady to me.
She was a very special lady. One who took out time.
She would always leave her problems behind, To see that we had everything we need. Indeed, can't you see She was a very special lady to me.
And when she smiled you felt the sun rose on her shoulders. She would fan a flame of love when life grew colder. Even though sometijnes she'd scold you, She would come again to console you. Let her epitaph read For the entire world to see. She was a very special lady to me. She was a very special lady. One who let up know, That true holiness was the only way to go, To live right So that we could have eternal life. Can't you see You were a very special lady to me
