There is gulf that stands between, The world we know and yours unseen. God loaned you to us for a short little while, But has since called you home across many miles. Your pain is no more and you are free, To walk on gold, jasper and beside a crystal sea. No one is perfect, we each have a trail. Yours was no different as you traveled all the while. Life is so short, and yours especially so, God called you home and your spirit said, "Go" You will be missed today and ever more, We pray Heaven rejoiced as you entered the door. Goodbye - So long, but we will meet again, Around God's throne where rejoicing never ends. Love, Your Son, James

Tribute To Our Grandpa

Thanks Grandpa for the times that you made us smile. We think about you all the time,

we know you are with God, And He's taking care of you. We love you for who you are. We love you, miss you and care for you. We Love You Love, Your Grandchildren, Caden, Camden &Jamia

God saw you were weary. So He did what was best. He came and stood beside you and whispered come and rest. You bade no one a last farewell, not even a good-bye You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. A precious one from us is gone. A voice we love is stilled He is safe in the arms of God, safe on his gently breast There by his love over shadowed, sweet his soul shall rest.

Sඍൺඍൾආൾඇඍ Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you prayed a sincere prayer or came to pay a call. Perhaps you sang a cheerful song, if so, we heard it all. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you prepared a tasty dish, or maybe furnished a car. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar. Whatever you did to console our hearts, by word or deed or touch. Whatever was the kindly part, we thank you, oh so very much. Special thank you to ICU Staff Charlton Methodist Hospital and Hospice Heart to Heart. The Family Don't grieve for me now, 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 love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too shall miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full; I've savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now - He set me free.
