Once in every life time we are truely blessed.
For a brief moment in time we were blessed with a
Brother,Husband and Father.
J.T you brought the sunshine into my life
you made the world seem brighter with your love
I will not forget you

I'M FREE...
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 the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A freindship shared, a laugh. A kiss,
Ah, yes these things I to will 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 ones 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.

Safely Home!
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Ah! But Jesus love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
in that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of the meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come!

All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing passed,
Now at peace forever,
Safely Home In Heaven At Last!
