Ruthann’s Tributes
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today.

While thinking of the many things We didn’t
get to say. I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you
And each time you think of me,
I know I’ll miss you too
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try and understand,
That an Angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above.

And that I’d have to leave behind all those I Dearly love.

when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart.

The Twenty- Third Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He
leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the path of
righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadows of
death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou
preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointed my head with oil;
my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

LIFE ETERNAL
Life is eternal, it does not end
Our father tells us so.
Believe what he says, my friend
for he surely does know.
He created all life you see
death is just a transition he explains.
He made life eternally
so, the soul forever will remain.
The body is only the clothes we wear
we take them off when we go home.
We won’t need them over there
for our father gives us new ones to wear.
The new clothes last forever you see
throughout all eternity.
Once again, we will all come together
to share our lives and love
in a new world even better,
the one called haven above.
AFTERGLOW
I’d like the memory of me,
To be happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles, when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave behind

When life is done.

2 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, will reward to me on that day- and not only for me, but also to all who have longed for
his appearing
