Farewell My Family 
Farewell my Family, dont weep For Im at peace now, just asleep Farewell my Family, Im not alone The Mighty "Maker" has led me safely home, Just think back over the many years, How the Family seemed so strong, holding back tears. Yet God somehow always made a way. And I thanked Him 
every night for another day. Be good my Family always love each other. 
Be a thoughtful sister, a kind brother Be strong my Family, strong in heart The blood ties, no one can ever part And if somewhere I made a mistake 
As you live many will you make. Farewell my Family, Ive been called away. 
Walk with God Trust in God.
