God Bless You! The Williams-Terry Family
LIVING FOR JESUS
Living for Jesus who died in her place,
Now Charlenes gone to meet Him face to face.
Though she suffered great pains,
She never complained.
:;
For as time went by
She knew just why.
.
For through it all,
She learned to depend on God.
She knew this world was not her home And in this place she would not live very long. She used her life to serve God and man, And gave love to others through voice arid hands.
Her family, choir, students and friends, Made her life full even to the end. Now Charlene has no pains at all, Shes resting in the arms of God.
Your devoted sister, Juanita Terry Johnson
