Weep Not For Me
Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul’s sweet flight
I am at peace, my soul’s at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life

1 Nov 2023I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Gail twice about 20 years apart. She had never changed. Always a smile and a very loving and giving heart. They made me feel as though I was a part of their family. One of God’s many angels that he has called home to rest. Memories of her love will last forever.
