PLEASE DON'T CRY FOR ME
Please don't cry for me;
don't let any tears roll down your face.
I know it's hard to hold back those tears,
but believe me, I have gone to a better place.
Please don't cry for me;
conjure up a smile and think of the happy years.
I will be restored to my healthy self,
those tears are wasted tears.
Please don't cry for me;
I know the memory of me will always be with you.
My spirit will remain the rest of your days,
in everything that you say and do.
Please don't cry for me;
I know you won't find that easy to do.
But even though I have gone from earth,
I will always be with you.
Please don't cry for me;
the Lord has reserved a special place for me.
I cherish the great friendship that we had,
and we'll share it again in eternity.

I will never forget his smile and his jokes God bless you Keith and your family, so much love to you all, The Spence family.

I went to South Catholic with Keith and only saw him once after that maybe 30 years after we graduated and he came up to me and said "Hi Dave, Keith Buerkle." The great guy I remembered from the late 50's. We talked and shared high school memories. Such a nice guy. A man you would never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
