''Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, Believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. If I go To prepare a place for you, I will come again, And receive you unto myself; that's
Where I am, there ye may be also."
"A tribute To My Sister"
This tribute comes to thank you, Sadie, For needed words of praise,
The counsel and the guidance, too, That shaped our grown-up days, No words of ours can tell you, Sadie,
The things we really feel: But you must know my love for you
Is lasting, warm and real You made our world a better place And throughout the coming years We'll keep these memories off you
As cherished souvenirs,
