billows roll, whatever my lot thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is
well with my soul."

/ cannot change the way I am, I never really try, Cod made
me different and unique, I never ask Him why. If I appear
peculiar, There©s nothing I can do, You must accept me as I
am, As I©ve accepted you. Cod made a casting of each life,
Then threw the old away, Each child is different from the rest,
Unlike as night from day. So often we will criticize, The
things that others do, But, do you know, they do not think,
The same as you and me. So God in all His wisdom, Who
knows us all by name, He didn©t want us to be bored, That©s
why we are not the same.
**********
The family wishes to express our deepest gratitude for the many
acts of kindness shown to us during the passing of our loved one.
A sincere thanks for the prayers, visits, calls, food, flowers and
everything said or done to comfort us during our most trying
hours.
