When I was little and I would go visit my Aunt Ina Mae she would always tell me how pretty I was. For a little woman she sure could eat alot. She a very sweet woman and never had a bad word to say about anyone and she loved fishing so much that a fishing pole was placed in her casket. We all miss her very much and I will never forget her smile and the sound of her voice. I still have her number programmed in my cell phone and sometimes I wish I could just talk to her. I never got to say goodbye, but all is bittersweet because I know that one day I will see her again.
Don't Grieve For Me
Shannon Moseley
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 or pray.
Tasks left undone
must stay that way,
I found that peace at
the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
Perhaps my time has
seemed all too brief,
Don't lenghten it now
with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts,
and share with me
God wanted me now,
He set me Free.
