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 peace 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. Oh, yes, these things, I will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now - He set me free. For my family, Love, Zaria "Tookie" Rainwater "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 1 Tim. 4.*********************** Obituaries, Winn Parish Enterprise, Winnfield, Louisiana, July 16, 2003, Page 7-B Myrtis Marie Gaar Services for Myrtis Marie Gaar were held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 12, 2003 in the Southern Funeral Home Chapel, Winnfield, LA with Bishop Loy Gaar officiating.
