I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free, I’m following 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 not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief,

Lift up your hearts and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free.

Tv~ÇÉãÄxwzxÅxÇàThe family of the late Tony DeJuan Durr is most grateful to God for the gift of fam-

ily and friends that have been so kind and thoughtful during our time of sorrow.

Your visits, calls, flowers and every act of kindness have given us strength during

this difficult time. Your loving kindness will rest upon our hearts and lives forever.
