fa r ew e ll RamifyFarewell mvfamily, don't weep
For I'm at peace now, just asleep.Farewell my family, I'm not alone
The Mighty ''Maker'' has led me safely home.Just think hack over the many years,
IIow the family seemed so strong, holding back tears. } et God somehow always made a way
And I thanked Him every night for another day.Be good my family, always love each other
Be strong my family, strong in heart The blood ties, no one can ever part.And i f somewhere I made a mistake
As you live many will you make.Farewell my family, I've been called away.
If alk with God, trust in God For He is by your side.

(Jost <T cquestPlease don't say that / gave up, just say that 1 gave in. Don't say 1 lost the battle, for it was God's war to lose or win. Please don't say how good 1 was. blit that 1 did my best. Just say 1 tried to do what's right, to give the most I could, not do less. Please don't give me wings or halos, that's fo r God to do. 1 want no more than 1 deserve, no extras, just my due. Please don't give flowers, or talk in harsh tones. Don't be concerned about me now. Pm well with God, Pve made it home. Don't talk about what could have been, it's over and it's done. Just see to all my family's needs, the battle has been won. When you draw a picture o f me, don't draw me as a saint. Pve done some good, Pve done some wrong, so use all your paint, not just the bright and light tones, use some gray and dark in fact, don't put me down on canvas paint me in your heart. Don't just remember all the good times, but remember some bad. For life is full o f many things some happy and some sad. But i f you must do something, then 1 have one last request forgive me for the wrongs Pve done and with the love that's left thank God for my soul's resting. Thank God fo r all who loved me, praise God who loved me best.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, i f so we saw it there. Perhaps you brought a bowl o f food, to help as much as you could. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend could say, perhaps you were not there at all, just thought o f us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much whatever the part. May God bless each and every one o f you.
