POEM
DONT
Dont spend much time in mourning
tears are for the sad.
I left to be with Jesus,
and this should make you glad.
Dont vex yourself with questions
or try to reason or guess.
Earthly life had ended.
It came my time to rest.
Dont fret because my leaving
came in such a way.
We will have another meeting
In Gods eternal day.

FLORAL BEARERS
Friends and Ushers
Perhaps you sang a lovely song or sat quietly in a
chair. Perhaps you sent a floral spray, if so we
saw it there; Perhaps you spoke the kindest words
as a friend could say. Perhaps you were not there
at all. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we
thank you so much, whatever the part.
