Life is but a stopping place. A pause in what's to be. A resting place along the road To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, We all are meant to learn some things, But never meant to stay... Our destination is a place Far greater than we know.
For some, the journey's quicker, For some, the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, We'll claim a great reward and find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord. As your loved one enters the gates of heaven, may God's gentle peace comfort your heart.
Rest in Peace:
