officiating. Interment will follow in the Beaver Creek Cemetery. The family

And I’m not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an Angel Came and Called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
