Farewell my love ones, please don't say that I gave up,
just say that I gave in, don't say that I lost the battle, for
it was God's war to lose or win; please don't give me
flowers or talk in hushed tones, when you draw a picture
o f me, don't draw me as a saint, I 've done some good,
. I 've done some wrong. Don't just remember all the bad
for life is full o f many things, some happy and sad. Why
\
weep in sorrow drown in your
tomorrow. There's no more dc
>especially pain. Please don't fuss
' and argue at least not today. I 'n
your sister and your friend. (
connected we will never be apart
strong in thy heart, Thank Godfor
"Weeping may endureth for the night, butjoy comes in the morning" It is during moments like these, that we find ourselves askingfor
strength to carry on. With the help o f our Lord and Savior, alfihings are possible, especially at a time such as this. We would like to thank each and everyone o fyou for your part in helping us with the loss o f one that means so much to us. May God richly bless you and Heavens
blessing be upon you and yours The Family o f Ruby Barnes Smith
