Gail's favorite scripture: Romans 10:9

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

Don’t cry for me, although I am gone 

Don’t cry for me now I am at home,

Home with God, who loves me too.

 Trust in him, even though you are blue,

He will strengthen you, in every way

I am at peace, I can say hooray 

Hooray, my pain is over now.

I made it through only God knows how.

Don’t cry for me, think of me and smile 

Believe in God,

and you will see me in a while

You will see that I am fine, 

The pain you feel will ease in time.

Think of my life, you were a part. 

I am gone, but store me in your heart.

There are many things that we did share,

Love and memories beyond compare.

So right now, to God for you I plead,

Give you all the strength, and don’t cry for me.
