Teresa Galloway Obituary Weep Not For Me By Unknown Author Weep not for me though I have gone, Into that gentle night. Grieve if you will, but not for long, Upon my soul’s sweet flight. I am at peace, my soul’s at rest, there is no need for tears. For with your love I was so blessed, For all those many years. There is no pain, I suffer not, the fear is now all gone. Put now these things out of your thoughts, in your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath, Remember not the strife. Please do not dwell upon my death but celebrate my life. An Angel By an Unknown Author An angel lived among us, A gift from God above. She showered us with kindness and shared with us her love. She cherished every moment with the man who was her life; Walking hand in hand together, Facing life with all its strife. She loved her children dearly, each one a different way, Nestled close within her heart. Though, now, she’s far away. She’s gone to live with Jesus, But, she’s here with us, today, smiling down on every one of us, and telling us she’s O.K. And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-14 (NLT) Teresa M.
