Obituary of Joanne Edith Wilson

                           I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free

I’m 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 peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship started, a laugh, a kiss,

Oh yes, these things I too 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 & times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart and share it with me

God wanted me now; He set me free.
