I just wanted to thank everyone for your love and support during this difficult time for me and my family. Billy loved his family and friends so much. He struggled for a long time to stay, but he just got so tired. If he could have stayed longer, he would have. He's at peace now, his suffering is over. I'd especially like to thank all of the people that helped with the service, particularly the luncheon, when I was so overwhelmed. You all carry me through. Kath.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family.

I Have A Place In Heaven

Please don’t sing sad songs for me.
Forget your grief and fears.
For I am in a perfect place.
Away from pain and tears....
I’m far away from hunger,
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven,
With the master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly lives can go.
But paradise is so much more.
Than anyone can know....
My heart is filled with happiness,
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace.
A joy forever new.
