Nana Hart Words of Comfort Pastor Roosevelt Walden Recessional (5 Q Teardrops are falling down From out of the sky They fall down sweet love From Heaven up high For someone has crossed over The other side Cannot not dry the tears I have physically cried But they look down in thought Praying just for me Like an angel they sit there Oh so lovingly Its not that I grieve The reason that I cry But its that I miss them dearly And this is whv j So instead of sitting here, With oil such tears I will thank the Lord For the memories of precious years For the guidance and love That they have shown me And acknowledge that it is A far better place theyll now be. of
