When I must leave you for a little while,

Please do not grieve and shed wild tears

And hug your sorrow to you through the years,

But start out bravely with a gallant smile;

And for my sake and in my name

Live on and do all things the same.

Feed not your loneliness on empty days,

But fill each waking hour in useful ways.

Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer

And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;

And never, never be afraid to die,

For I am waiting for you in the sky!

When I Come Home To Heaven!

When I come home to heaven, how joyful that will be!

For on that day at last my risen Lord I'll see...

No greater happiness than to see Him face to face,

To see the love in His eyes and feel His warm embrace.

Then why should earthly cares weigh down upon me so?

They'll be a distant memory when home at last I go!

In Loving Memory Of My Dad

My dad passed away 4 days after suffering a massive heart attack. He was still active and working when he had the attack. My dad loved his family, friends, church, and esp. his Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. He never knew a stranger, always got along well with everyone around him. He loved to have fun, and always liked to kid around. He loved to sing and play guitar, fish, go for walks, and ride his bike. He liked to keep active. Dad, I will miss you very much, your sense of humor, wisdom, advice, visits here to Oklahoma with Eddie Dean, your commitment to God, your prayers, and just your presence in this world. I know you are having the time of your life right now. There is a great reunion in the sky with your dear wife, Violet, whom you missed so much! I will see you in heaven!

Your loving daughter, Judy

" And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away."

Revelation 21:4
