And one day we will meet again, on the other side But for now, my friends, I must close my eyes I’m in a peaceful resting place everyone will someday see For we know this is God’s will Someday for you, but now for me The memories we’ve shared will always be near to your hearts And there they will stay and never depart But for now, my friends, I must close my eyes And one day we will meet again, on the other side. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KATHY G ELGUEA Johnson’s Funeral Home Mrs. Kathy G.
