So Long To Marie
Today we say ‘so long’ to our beloved friend, I have one thing to say, Lord, on her
behalf.
Lord, you know she loved to laugh, and how spunky she could be. She kept
everyone on their toes with one thing or another! Yet she had her times of
stillness too.
You gave her the sense of humor and wit she had .... By the way, thanks a lot!
And stories ... my, she could make you belly laugh with her stories!
Remember how blunt she could be, and sharp .... yet she never was cruel or
hurtful, nor ever meant to be.
She loved to minister to people, sharing Your love with them. Comforting the
hurting, encouraging and building up the downhearted. That was her mission in
life!
She was so busy, she sometimes wore me out. But Lord, she was special to
me! I thank you for the opportunity to share life with her. She truly was a blessing!
I ask You, Lord, won’t You please ... prepare a very special place for her?
Because when she hears that trumpet blow .... and the shout of Your voice ....
Lord, you are going to have Your hands full!
As we lay her to rest, we do so with this sign over head: ‘A Real Live Wire’ will be
coming home when called! So raise the ‘Welcome Home’ banner high, ‘cause
she’ll be runnin’ full bore!
So long, my beloved friend! I'll be seeing you again!
