SAFEL Y HOME 
-Author Unknown 
Do not grieve so sorely, 
For I love you dearly still; 
Look beyond earth's shadows, 
Pray and trust the Father's will. 
There is work still waiting for you, 
So you must not idly stand; 
Do it now, while life remaineth- 
You shall rest in Jesus  land. 
When that work is all completed, 
He will gently call you Home; 
Oh, the rapture of that meeting, 
Oh, the joy to see you come! 
********** 
~ ^cfcnowfecfgements ~ 
Your presence, the lovely florals, the beautiful words spoken 
and sung, and your prayers have truly been comforting to us. 
Thank you for caring, thank you for sharing, and thank you for 
being there when we needed you the most. We pray that God 
will continue to richly bless you. ... THE FAMILY

Did you wonder how I so calmly 
Trod the valley of the shade? 
Oh! But Jesus  love illumined 
Every dark and fearful glade. 
He came Himself to meet me 
In that way so hard to tread; 
And with Jesus  arm to lean on 
There was no doubt or dread? 
All my pain and grief is over 
Every restless tossing passed; 
I am now at peace forever, 
Safely home in Heaven at last.
