Don't Cry for Me

Don't cry for me. I will be okay. Heaven is my home now, and this is where I'll stay. Don't cry for me. I'm where I belong. I want you to be happy and try to stay strong. Don't cry for me. It was just my time. But I will see you someday on the other side. Don't cry for me. I am NOT ALONE. The angels are with me to welcome me home. Don't cry for me, for I have no fear. All my PAIN IS GONE, and JESUS took my tears. Don't cry for me. This is NOT THE END. I'll be waiting here for you when we meet again.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. at Fairview Baptist Church in Blairsville with Rev. Tommy Jones officiating.
