Final Resting Place Fairview Cemetery at Cedar Falls, Iowa I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full I've savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Life up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now He set me free.
