"I©m Free"

Don©t grieve for me, for now Fmfree.Fm following the path God laid for me.I took His hand when I heard Him 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 that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened ©ffith times of sorrow,I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.My life©s been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.

Don©t lengthen it now with undue grief.Lift up your heart, and share with me,God wanted me NOW, He set me free.

Linda-Jo Jackson

A Tribute To My Husband

I don©t think of you as gone away -your journey has just begun,

life holds so many facets -this earth is only one.

I just think of you as restingfrom the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfortwhere there are no days and years.I think how you must be wishing

that we could know todaythat nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.I think of you as living

in the hearts of those you touched...for nothing loved is ever lost -and you are loved so very much.

Tour loving wife.,
