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. ---The Family

P SALM 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Her favorite pastimes included being a member of Freedom Missionary Baptist Church where she and my dad attended until their health declined.

A P LACE C ALLED H EAVEN High above the clouds and far away, somewhere in the elements is a place called Heaven. In the stillness of the night, I close my eyes, and vision a place called Heaven, where angels fly high above the heavenly clouds. Streets are paved with gold, a river flows with milk and honey. The air has a sweet smell of honeysuckle. There is a field of white lilies, and gates with strings of white pearls, in a place called Heaven. A soul leaves its earthly body, and no longer exists. A soul flies on the wing of an angel, through a pillow of blue and white clouds to a rest stop, for the soul of a Christian, in a place called Paradise. I listen quietly to a heavenly choir singing a Zion Hymn, "Amazing Grace," for there is a place called Heaven. Somewhere in the elements above the clouds, I vision a place where there is no darkness. There is a light, bright as the star of David. A light that guides a soul on the wings of an angel to a place called Heaven.

Recessional

Once more, I close my eyes and see a soul on the wings of an angel I hear a heavenly choir with voices of angels singing “Blessed Assurance”, for there is a final resting place for the soul of a Christian. A place where God is in the midst, in a place called Heaven.
