I Am Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
To follow the path God made 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 love, to laugh, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
For I found peace at last, that day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembering joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with hearts of sorrow.
My wish for you is the hope of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed much too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wants me now --- He's set me free.

Kathy was my friend and sister for 45 years. We had great love between us. I miss the calls from her on special holidays days and just talking at lease once a week. I enjoyed viewing the photos of the service. It brought back good memories. Although, she is gone by sight but not by voice. Love, Helen Taylor.

My grandma was a kind and loving person. Everyone loved to be around her. She loved everyone just the same and in their own special way. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for you. I will always love you.
