Don’t mourn for me.
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Church of The Living God c/o The Rev. Levi Floyd 317 South 12th Street, Frederick, Oklahoma 75423.

“Don’t you know no other song?” She asked me as I sang Pass Me Not. After that; She taught me Life.
Through SCRIPTURES..The whole family pitched in. Her choir was untouchable. We still today honor her teachings in song.
To me, she’s not my loss (lost) I know where she is – FACE TO FACE with HIM.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. LOVE BONNIE DEE GREATHOUSE
