"There comes a timefor all o f us When we must say good-bye
Butfaith and hope and love and trust Can never, never die.
Although the curtain falls at last Is that a cause to grieve?
Thefuture's fairer than the past I f only we believe.
Trust in God's eternal care So when the Master calls Let's say that life is still morefair Although the curtainfalls."
The family acknowledges with gateful hearts the acts of kindness, thoughtfulness and tributes extended during the untimely death of our loved one. May God's light shine into the days ahead for each of you.
