We can hear you saying…

Don’t cry anymore tears for me,

I am at peace and finally free.

Like the Eagles in the sky,

I am soaring, so please don’t cry.


I know you love me, I love you too,

But my time was over, was finally through.

I have ascended to a better place,

Which is not confined by time or space.


To those that loved me, I did not fall;

Instead, I succumbed to a higher call.

Do not mourn me, I am with you still,

I’ll always be with you, from dawn… until.


Services will be held Tuesday, 11/25/25, 12:30 at Radel Funeral Home
