Weep not for me though I am gone into the gentle night. Grieve if you will, but not for long. Up-on my soul’s sweet flight. I am at Peace, my soul is at rest. There is no need for tears. For with your love I was blessed, for all those many years.
I am in no pain, I suffer not, fears are all gone. Put not these things out of your thoughts, in your memory I will live on, remember not my pain, loss of eye sight and fight for life, remember not the strife and forgetfulness, please do not dwell upon my death but celebrate my life.
Mother you were loved and we all were blessed by you.
Your Family
