/ OT Tree 
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free. 
I'm following the path God laid for me. 
I took His hand when I heard Hint call, 
I turned my back and left it aU. 
I could not stay another day. 
To laugh, to love, to work, or play. 
Tasks left imdone must stay that way. 
I found that peace at the close of the day. 
If my parting has left a void. 
Then fill it with remembering joy. 
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. 
Ah yes, these things I too will miss. 
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, 
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. 
My hfe's been full, I savored much. 
Good friends, good times, a love one's touch. 
Perhaps my time seemed aU too brief. 
Don't lengthen it now, with undo grief. 
Lift up your heart and share with me, 
God wanted me now. He set me free. 
The Family of Viola Stanley acknowledges with sincere appreciation the 
many comforting expressions of kindness and support shown to diem during 
their time of bereavement. May God's blessing ever be with you.
