Life is But A Stopping Place
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 were 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 peace, Together with the Lord.

We honor you for whom you were and the special things you've done… that made your life so rewarding and made you such a special person. Your memories are ours to cherish as we fondly remember your ways… keeping you safely tucked in our hearts is where you'll always stay.
