A poem of comfort
For God has granted me the life He wanted me to live here, so I say to you: don’t weep; rejoice, for I am in my resting place in my new home called heaven. I am on my new journey where there’s no pain, hurt and no more suffering. I am with my Father in heaven, where I wait for you one day to be with me again. God created heaven and earth, God gave me the natural body for a while to camp in, but He also given a new body that will not pass away even as you see this natural body lay here asleep I am with you in your heart and spirit, so don’t cry I am happy with my Father in heaven. Now is the time to celebrate life and know that God has call my name on His roll to do His work in heaven, my earthly work has been done, but now God has a new work for me. So lift up the praises to Him, cry no more for God keep you strong and I will always be in your heart.
On behalf of the children of the White family, we extend this poem of comfort to the Chrowder family.
