'When Tomorrow Starts Without Me'
When tomorrow starts without me please try to understand that an Angel came and called my name. The Angel said my place was ready in Heaven far above and I'd have to leave behind those I dearly loved. But when I walked through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me and told me "Welcome Home". So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart for every time you think of me, I's right there in your Heart. - Author Unknown
Remembrance to be held at a later date.
