Weep Not For Me Weep not for me though I have gone Into that gentle night Grieve if you will, but not for long Upon my soul’s sweet flight
There is no pain; I suffer not The fear is now all gone Put now these things out of your thoughts In your memory, I live on
I am at peace; my soul’s at rest There is no need for tears For with your love I was so blessed For all those many years
Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife Please do not dwell upon my death But celebrate my life

Sleep My Sister
ributes of ove
I wish you sweet sleep, my sister dear. Although there’s so much that you’ve left bare I hate that you had to endure such pain On my mind, your saddened eyes have left a stain. I want to know what crossed your mind Unspoken words you’ve left behind Undone things we’ll never do No sharing thoughts you never knew. A peace has fallen upon your head A taste of sorrow we have been fed It really is like a hole in our lives One swiftly dug but carved out by knives. But I have hope that those sleeping will rise The Bible says that God will open their eyes. No suffering, sickness, yes not even pain, Those who did good, eternal life they’ll gain. So… sleep on my sister, sleep tight For now, with you the sky is night. But after night will come daybreak Therefore I will wait hoping to see you awake.
Howard, Rodney, Angelique & Carlos
Forever In Your Heart Feel no guilt in laughter She knows how much you care Feel no sorrow in a smile That she’s not here to share You cannot grieve forever She would not want you to She’d hope that you would carry on That way you always do So talk about the good times And the ways you showed you cared The days you spent together All the happiness you shared Let memories surround you A word someone might say Will suddenly recapture A time, an hour, a day That brings her back as clearly As though she was still here And fills you with the feelings That said she’s always near For if you keep those moments You will never be apart And they will live forever Safely locked within your heart.
Vincent, Dre’ & Christie
We Had A Wonderful
GG We had a wonderful GG. On who never really grew old; Her smile was made of sunshine, And her heart was solid gold; Her eyes were bright as shining star, And in her cheeks fair roses, you see. We had a wonderful GG, And that’s the way it will always be. But take heed, because She’s still keeping an eye on all of us, So let’s make sure She will like what she sees.
We Love GG, Cayli, Reina and Kayden
