R ECESSIONAL OF THE F UNERAL C ORTEGE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has 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 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. My life's been full, I 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 heart and share with me; God wanted me now, He set me free!

R EMEMBERING O UR

R B ELOVED S HELLY

Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys. Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay. It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. Our destination is a place far greater than we've ever known. And there we'll claim a great reward, an everlasting peace, together with the Lord!

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.
