Our days on earth are numbered, for at anytime God can call us home, feel blessed that I am soaring for I have earned my wings.I'm flying with the eagles, while listening to the Angles sing.My soul is with Jesus, it's just my body being placed in the ground, I beat all of you to the Glory Land, and I don't mind that I was first, for all the beauty I see before me,is better than anything I saw on Earth.Oh hear the Angles voices, so don't you worry about me, for I am with our Lord and Savior, and Val stands here with me.You must carry on without me,as my body goes back to from which it came, No more sickness, No more sorrow, No more sweat and tears, my dear loved ones it's up to you, to come and join me here.So now I'm asking you, to live by Gods commands, for he is offering you, to take him by the hand. Ruth, my mansion is so glourious, I just couldn't believe my eyes, and guess what I did find,that fishing hole, behind my mansion in the sky.
Hamburger I will miss you,
Always your friend,
