I'll Fiy Away
Some glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away.
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away. I'll fly away, oh glory,
ni fly away.
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.

"God saw the road was getting rough. The hills were hard
to climb.
He gently dosed those loving eyes and whispered peace be
thine."

Perhaps, you sent a lovely card 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 any fnend would say.
Perhaps, you were not there at all,
just thought of us each day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
we thank you so much,
whatever the part.
Mrs. Mary Smith (Wife)
