To the family,
This world has its seasons of sadness, Its partings and tearful good-byes. But someday there'll be only gladness when the Lord wipes all tears from our eyes. There"ll be an all-out celebration. One day when our time here is through, and our loved ones will say with elation, "WELCOME HOME-I've been waiting for you!" In another home, in a happier place, in a beautiful forever you'll meet again.

God Bless
