D on't grieve fo r me, fo r now I'm fr e e I'm follow ing the path G od has laidfo r me.
I took H is hand when I heard Him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work o r play, Tasks left undone must stay that way> Ifo u n d p ea ce at the en d o f the day.
I f my parting has left a void Thenfil l it with rem em beredjoys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too will miss. B e not burdened with times o f sorrow>, I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow, M y life's been fu ll, I savored much,
G oodfriends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seem ed all too b rief Don't lengthen it now with undue g rie f Lift up your hearts, and share with me,
G od wanted me NOW, H E HAS SET M E FREE!

cJJtis cfe Husband
A husband is that special man You could write a book about,
The one you love to be with A n d couldn't do without.
A husband is a gentle look, A hand within your ow n; H e always makes you proud To feel that you are his alone.
A husband understands your moods A n d laughs at things you say,
H e sees you when you're at your worst A n d loves you anyway.
A husband is the one you kiss A n d make up with again
W hen there's a little difference o f opinion ncnv and then.
H e is that special man who shares All that you 're dream ing o f A nd gives a magic m eaning To the w onder that is love.
This message is fu ll if love A s it could ever be,
Because you are so special A n d you mean the world to me!
I'll will always love you!
Your W ife, lola
