IN MEMORIAM

I’m Free
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 Him call. I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of 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 I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sor- row I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I’ve 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.
Love and missing you daily. Your loving family.
IN MEMORIAM
GEORGE A. TYLER, SR.
Gone, But Not Forgotten!
