《 《 LIFE IS FOREVER! DEATH IS A DREAM! 》》

              If we did not go to sleep at night 

            We'd never awaken to see the light 

        And the joy of watching a new day break

        Or meeting the dawn by some quiet lake

          Would never be ours unless we slept

             While God and all his Angels kept

               A vigil through this "little death"

           That's over with the morning's breath

            And death, too, is a time of sleeping

           For those who die is in God's keeping 

           And there is a "sunrise" for each soul

         For life not death is God's promised goal 

      So trust God's promise and doubt him never 

      For only through death can man live forever!

 

    ~~~~~~ WORDS OF APPRECIATION ~~~~~~

Our hearts have been made to rejoice during the illness and passing of our loved ones by the many acts of kindness extended to our family. Your prayers, expressions of love and sympathy are greatly appreciated. May God's blessing of peace and love continue to be with you forever...

 

                                      THE TERRY FAMILY!!
