There is an open gate at the end of the road
Through which each must go alone
And there is a light we cannot see
Our Father claims his own.
Beyond the gate our loved one
Finds happiness and rest
And there is comfort in the thought
That a loving God knows best.

Members of Green Cypress and Friends
Perhaps you sang a lovely song
Or sat quietly in the chair.
Perhaps you sent some lovely flowers;
If so, we saw them there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words
That a friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever deed done, great or small.
The family of Mr. Florace Lee (Billie) Leonard
Thank you for it all.
