Don't greive for me, for now I'm free. I'm folowing 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 ot stay another day...to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I've found that peace at the colse of day. If my parting left a void. Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes these things i too shall miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish , you 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 breif. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now: He set me free. Rest in Peace Uncle Jimmy. Love Always, Karen Marie Pickert
