Sweetly rest from all thy
labor,
Far from every grief and pain;
We will often think about you,
While we here, on earth remain.
That life is not entirely lived on this earth was proved
again when the Angel of Death took from our midst, a dear father and friend,
whom we all cherished and loved. To die with the faith that makes death seem a
sweet relief means that life is only to begin. When death claims the earthy
house of the soul therefore let us not weep but rather thank God that he gave
this dear father and friend that faith and Maker of life.

and four have preceded him in death; also 5 great grandchildren survive, and 2

May we realize that our loss is eternal gain. May God help
us to live a faithful life so we may enter that world where death nor sorrow ever
come.

Beneath our eyes he fadeth slowly.
Growing, day by day, more frail,
Bearing sweetly all his sufferings
Without murmur, moan of wail.
In the household many sorrows,
That his race so soon is run,
But we should not mourn for father,
As the Savior bids him come.
We loved him, yes, we loved him,
But his Savior loved him more.
So the angels sweetly called him
To that bright and happy shore.
