Please dont give flowers, or talk in harsh tones. Dont be concerned about me now, Im weil with God, Ive made it home. Dont talk about what could have been, its over and its done. Just see to all my familys needs, the battle has been won. When you draw a picture of me, dont draw me as a saint, Ive done some good, Ive done some wrong, so use all your paint. Not just the bright and light tones, use some gray and dark, in fact, dont put me down on canvas paint me in your heart. Dont just remember all the good times, but remember all the bad.

Dont spend too much time in mourning. Tears are for the sad.
I left to be with Jesus and that should make you glad. Dont waste your hours in grieving, no need to feel distress.
Im tired of lifes frustrations and had to have some rest. Dont vex yourself with questions, or try to reason why.
Life here for me was ended, it came my time to die. Dont lose the love I gave you, feed it with your care.
Grow it with devotion and spread it everywhere. Dont fret because my leaving came in such a way Well have another meeting in Gods Eternal Day.
