Janet A. "Granny" Bourgeois

God saw that I was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around me and whispered, "Come home with me." I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left you all. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. So grieve a while for me if you must, then let your grief be comforted with trust. You must not tie yourselves to me with tears, but you must thank God that we had so many years. And then, when you must come this way too, I'll greet you with a smile knowing that the Lord has "Welcomed You."
