(H eavenly LSfeep
The last we spoke Wefilled the room with smiles.
And as you departed, I could not say
That the sleep I was about to take Would bring me awakening at Heaven's gate.
D on't cryfo r me, fo r I am safe. Ia m surrounded with smiles
And held by G od's loving embrace. Let your memories o f me
Give you strength andfaith; So that one day you will join me
In this Heavenly Peace.
Frenchie Taylor
