TO: THE FAMILY OF MRS. EULA MAE WATSON (MADEA)

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

We would like to extend our condolences to THE ENTIRE Remember all of the good times you shared together. We will keep you in our prayers.

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND LOVE,

EARNEST AND ROSEMARY TATNEY

FOR THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME

When I am gone, release me, and let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess,
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you’ve each shown,
But now its time I traveled alone
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comforted by trust,
It is only for a while that we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near.
And if you listen, you will hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say
“Welcome Home”.
