Nimrod Johnson We Wish to Express Our Deepest Appreciation for the Many Acts Sunrise Sunset of Kindness Shown During the Loss of Our Loved One

Pallbearers HOMEGOING SERVICE FOR Cousins

Flower Bearers Cousins q "I’m Free" 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 could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of 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. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much; good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all too 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. q Acknowledgements Nimrod Johnson We wish to express our deepest appreciation for the many acts Sunrise Sunset of kindness shown during the loss of our loved one.
