To Those I LoVe, and Those \tfho LoVe me
When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy th a t we had so many years. I gave you my love-you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you fo r 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 tru s t.'
It's only fo r a while th a t we must part. So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be fa r away for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see me or touch me,
I'll be near And if you listen with your heart,
you will hear, All of my love around you, s o ft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "welcome home".

It's Alt
We love you daddy, we know th a t there is no more pain.
When you were in pain, no one ever knew because you never complained.
You would always say "you can't stop because of a little pain, you have tothank the Lord and go on in Jesus'
name. We know th a t Jesus lived in you | ! daddy, because no one could endure | such pain, except Jesus living in them,
and not complain. In any situation you would be in good spirits and say, " It's j Alright, God knows everything and He'll J
work it out". So we are saying, "Goodnight Daddy, everything'is ALL :
RIGHT'.
Love, Your Children
We are most grateful to God for the gift; | of friends like you, who have been so kind! and thoughtful during th is time of sorrow. Your visits, calls, flowers, and every a ct of kindness have given us^ strength. May God bless each of you.
The Family
