Obituary
Don't grieve for me for 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'm at rest so please don't cry, it will be easier as times goes by.
I've done my best to live a good life for I knew if I did I could be with Christ.
As my body lies here it is only a shell God has called me home and my job I've done well,
I'm happy and very content for the things I've done wrong I repent.
You know that I know that it is hard here on earth, so you should not cry at death but at birth.
I have no worries no pain or fears I am with God so dry your tears.
I Love you all and this is what I want you to do, put God first in your life and I'll be seeing you.
"I have fought the good fight.
I have finished my course.
I have kept the faith."
1 Timothy 4:7
