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.
