This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, ENCI MATHIAS, 87, born on January 10, 1927 and passed away on August 9, 2014. We will remember him forever.
My Dear Family and Friends,
For Those I Loved and
For Those Who Loved Me
When I am gone, release me, and let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You must not tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
For the ones I left behind,
I want you to know what I had in mind,
I thought of you all before I died.
I loved you so much, I could have cried.
The Lord put out His hand for me to go,
I had not time to let you know.
Mourn not for me today, nor be in sorrow,
however, love each other for my sake.
Weep not my loved ones, but be gratified.
Our lives, you know, are only lent.
The grave is but a bed, you see;
prepare yourselves to follow me.
In love we lived, in peace I died.
You asked for my life, but God denied.
Whatever you do, please just be kind.
“He Welcomed Me Home,”
with open loving arms.
To my family and friends,
please do not worry about me,
because I am home with God
and there is no better place to be.
I gave you all my love, you can only guess,
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love each of you have shown.
But now it’s time that I traveled alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part,
So keep the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you cannot see or touch me, I’ll be near,
And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear.
All of my love around you, soft and clear
And then, when you must come this way alone...
I’ll greet you with a smile and say–
“Welcome Home.”
