To The Family;
Death is a gateway
to reach that fair land-
where thier soul's are born anew
For man is born to Die,and sojourn on earth.
Is a short span of years
begaining at birth.
And like pilgrims we wander
until death takes thier hands
And start on a journey
to Gods promised land.
May God Bless and Keep you all in his loving Hands. Dawn and her 2 are resting in peace. She is free from all her pain,And her 2 children that she loved so much,are now angles

Love Always,Wanda Still & family.
