When 1 Must Leaps You
W hen I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears A n d hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
A n d for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same, Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer A n d L in turn will comfort you and hold you near. A n d never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the Sky!
** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT **
We wish to express our deepest appreciation for the many acts of kindness shown to us during the death of our loved one. We are especially thankful for those who have inspired and helped us bear our sorrows. May God bless each of you. Again, we thank you.
