“Beyond the Sunset"

Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll

No lessening shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll

We've known so much of happiness, we've had our cup of joy

And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy

I want to know each step you take, that I may walk the same

For someday down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your name

Should you go first and I remain, one thing I'll have you do

Walk slowly down that long, long path, for soon I'll follow you

In that fair homeland, we'll know no parting beyond the sunset for evermore”

Countryside Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
