i/e Is Eternal
"Life is eternal," the good Lord said, So do not think ofyour loved one as dead -
For death is only a stepping stone To a beautiful life we have never known. A place where God promised man he would be
Eternally happy and safe andfree. A wonderful land where we live anew When our journey on earth is over and through So trust in God and doubt Him never
For all who love Him live forever. And while we cannot understand ."." Just let the Saviour take your hand. For when death s angel comes to call "God is so great and were so small ..." And there is nothing you needfear. For faith in God makes all things clear.
The Green Family wishes to say "Thanks" to all of you for your many expressions of love and comfort during Rubenas illness and death. May God Bless You.
