When I Have Gone
When I have gone, remember I’m with Jesus; Then do not grieve because I’ve passed away. Life holds so many griefs and disappointments, And will you weep because I did not stay?
‘Tis only for a spell we must be parted; Not many years on earth to us are given. And when my Saviour tells me you are coming, I’ll go with Him, and welcome you to Heaven.
Grieve not because the eyes that looked upon you Shall never see your face on earth again; Rejoice because they look upon the Saviour Who gave His life to ransom sinful men. Weep not because I walk no longer with you; Remember, I am walking streets of gold. Weep for yourselves that you awhile must tarry Before the blessed Lord you may behold. by Barbara C. Ryberg

Full Circle of Life
One of Jerry’s happiest days was when he got to return to his old childhood barn on the ranch where he was a child in Fort Morgan, Colorado. (Photo on the front of memorial). This is where he won the “Catch-it Calf” contest at the local fair, then raised it to win Grand Champion steer at the Colorado State Fair.
