" "Hail to the Man" A pioneer of Terrace Manor
Never asked for praise Never wore a "Thank You" banner

"Hail to the Man" Loved by many; shared with all
Showed pride to T.W. Josey When he ran with that ball
ft "Hail to the Man" * Who would sit under that tree Sharing joy and laughter with his friends For all the world to see

"Hail to the Man" Whose love for his families gave him strength
If any unkind words were said about them t You got your nose bent

t

"Hail to the Man"

That gave more than he received

Never complained about the outcome

For he only wanted you to achieve

"Hail to the Man"

God have told to come on home

You have satisfied His wishes

Take a seat by My throne

"Hail to the Man' That we call our big brother He emptied his heart and soul to everyone For "Eagle One Have Landed Now"
With God's trusted Son

Life i Eternal
*. Life is eternal" the good Lord said, So do not think of our 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 and free,
A wonderild 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 foreverAnd while we cannot understand. Just let the Savior take your hand,
For when cleath's angel comes to call, God is so great and we are so small. And there is nothing you need fear, For faith in God makes all things clear.
My Father's Day Prayer
We said-a father's day prayer for you We ask the Lord above k
To keep you safely in His care And enfold you in His love...
We do not ask for fortune. For riches or for fame,
We only ask for blessings In the Holy Savior's nameBlessing to surround you
tn your time of rest, And inner joy to fill your heart
With peace and happiness.
