My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times and loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, do not lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, He SET ME FREE. We’ll be waiting, when you’re set free. www.BurgFuneralHome.com
