W hen I Must Leave You
W hen I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in His 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 And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. And never, never be afraid to die For 1 am waiting for you in the sky.
~ Expressions o f`Appreciation ~
The family of the late Mr. Ronnie Taylor, Jr., acknowledges with much appreciation and gratitude all acts of kindness extended during our time of bereavement. We thank you for all the food, flowers, cards and whatever part you participated in. Again, the Taylor Family thanks you.
