Weep Not For Me
Weep not for me though I am gone
Into the gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my souls sweet flight.
There is no need for tears.
I am at peace, my soul is at rest
There is no pain, I suffer not,
For with your love I was so blessed.
I am in a place of comfort
The fear now is gone.
Put those 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
love you always aunt doris

I will cherish her memory forever. Doris and I had a special bond that will stay in my heart always. I know we all have one more angel looking out for us here on earth. We are all only on loan from the Spirit World, and will one day be reunited in Heavenly splendor.
