God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get
Well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting
rough
And the hills were hard to
climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
but
You didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

~Gran's Religious Music~
The song now playing is
"IN THE
GARDEN"
One that was sang by her neice
Dorothy and nephews Rev. Fred and
Thurmond at the services
By faith she was a Baptist. Living
a christian life, she would read
her Bible faithfully and teach
us to love one another.
Due to
alzheimers and end stage liver
disease (of an unknown origin)
her ability to read, and to
recognize her daughters was taken
from her.
Even
with these heart
breaking
afflictions, she saw
Angels and
spoke with the Lord.
This
continued until she slipped
into
a coma four days prior to
her
departing from her earthly
body.
Assention into heaven was
felt
by those at her bedside. An
experience
that only those present was
witness to.
Discussion of the departure is
a heart and soul touching story.
Undescribable in words--- a soul
escorted by Angels from her own
bedroom to a place of eternal
peace with our Lord!
Click below to listen to some of
Grandmother's favorite Christian
music.
The song "Will
The Circle Be Unbroken" was sang by
Gran's nephew Ray Bowers Cline with
guitar at her funeral.
"Cripple
Creek" was a song that
Gran
played on her harmonica.
She
would pause and sing
a few bars
and then resume playing.
The
night she came
home from the
hospital in
June, 1998,
she ask for her harmonica
and
played a short tune.
The family
was astonished and amazed.
We
were drawn to tears of joy
and
deep sadness as we knew she
all
too soon would play for
the
Angels in heaven! That was the
last time we heard her play!

This birdhouse is placed here in
memory
of one of Gran's memorable
statements. She would
always
refer to her house as her
'LITTLE BIRD HOUSE'.
We have
grown to use this phrase
when
speaking of Grandmother's home!
