(SISTER IDELLA WALKER TURNER)
We cannot walk in your path For the road you traveled was wide. You touched the hearts o f those you met
For you met them with a smile. And as you journeyed along the way
You left a warmth so dear. That memories o f you remained
And the footsteps very clear. There is no way to say Good'bye
For you will be loved always. The special way you've touched our lives With your gentleness and caring ways. That certain smile, that look in your eyes
And the softness when you'd say, "Don't worry, everything is fine." More than you knew or more than we could say. But God has seen your promise And has called you to come home.
You've gone away To your Heavenly Father's embrace
With God at the throne.
I'm Free
(BROTHER ROBERT "BOBBY" MORRIS, SR.)
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I 'm following the path God has laid for me.
I took His hand when 1 heard Him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play, Tasks left undone must stay that way I found peace at the end o f the day.
If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times o f sorrow, I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow, My life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your hearts, and share with me, God wanted me NOW, He has set me free.
