The Homegoing Celebration for The Life of

“ Asleep ” I’ve closed my eyes and fallen asleep; So there’s no reason for you to weep. This is a debt we all must pay, but it is a sweet and peaceful way. I’ve endured pain and sometimes sorrow; Now I don’t have to worry about tomorrow, but life for you must go on. You must not worry because I’m gone. You stood beside me all the way. When I was down you knew what to say, you always told me to get some rest. Let me sleep now; I’ve done my best. So please now let me rest in peace; The tears you’re shedding soon will cease. You’ll soon realize that this was meant to be; And I thank God because He came for me.

The family wishes to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all that came to visit, sent cards, telephone calls, food, prayers, and all your many acts of kindness will always be remembered with heartfelt thanks .
