SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt
or dread?
Then you must not grieve
so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Andrea & Family,
Virginia was a very special lady. I thought a lot of her. She was always very sweet and always had a kind word for everyone. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Loma, Burman, Jr. and Sandy, your mother was a treasure to the Hartman family. She was a great mentor to me in my early years as a Christian. Her counsel and Godly wisdom gave me courage during some very dark times in my life.
More than anything, I know that Virginia would want to know that her children and grandchildren are walking in the truth of God's word. I wish I could be there for her view and funeral, but you are in my thoughts and prayers.

God bless....Beverly (Hartman) Akin
