A FAMILY PRAYER
Oh Lord, be gentle with her. Be merciful and kind; For she was loved so dearly bBy those she left behind,
Walk slowly with her, Lord, As you take her to the Promised Land. Stay ever by her side, Sing sweetly in her ears
And when she cries ot missing us Gently wipe away her tears.
And, Lord, when what weve asked is done, We pray our hearts youll touch. And let her know we love her so, And we miss her just as much.

God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change Courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference,

I Am With you Always
To those I love and those who love me, When 1 am gone, release me, let me go.
1 have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears,,
Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
Its only for a while that we must part. So bless the memories within your heart.
I wont be far away for life goes on. So if you need me , call and I will come . Though you cant see me or touch me, Ill be near And if you listen with your heart, you will hear, All of my love around you, soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, Ill greet you with a smile and a "welcome home" .
