Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also.

St. John 14: 1-3

I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me for I’m free.

I’m following the path God laid for me

I took his hand when I heard him call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

to laugh, to live to work or play.

Task left undone 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 remembered joy

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Oh yes, these things I too will miss,

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much

Good friends, good times, and a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don’t lengthen it now with undone grief.

Lift up your heart and peace to thee

God wanted me now; he set me free.

Special Thanks

Jesus promised us they who mourn would be comforted. During our hours of bereavement, this promise has been fulfilled by you, our kind and loving friends. Thank you for coming to help us bear our grief.

May God bless each of you.
