Amazing Grace…
Dear Anita,
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far.
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease.
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
Dear Humbled Servant,…you are one of the few, the chosen…, never did you doubt, nor falter; in its purest form, faithful did you follow…, welcome home, eternity is yours.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,…., but whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God”.
Dear Wife,…”I’ve been waiting for you.”
Dear Mom,…”You are the biggest and best of each of us.”
Dear Grandma,…”You loved us all unconditionally and will forever be missed.”
Dear Colleague,…”truly kind and generous to all those you helped take care of over all those years.”
Dear Friend,…”You are the kindest and most generous person, that I have ever met.”
Dear Neighbor,…”Your kind hand and generous nature, defines neighborly.”

Let us Pray,…
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
Let us rejoice and sing with Anita, a verse from a favorite hymn she often sang in His glory, with an angelic voice that soared high into the heavens while here on earth, and now, as she takes her place with her Savior and King,…she sings once more, for all of us, …
In the Garden
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses…
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing . . .
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
