Heaven
When I go to Heaven
how marvelous to see
my brothers and my sisters
waiting there for me.
I?ll hug my Mother
and my Dad
a precious moment
to be had.
A kiss from Russell.
It?s been so long.
?Together Again?
will be our song.
So don?t shed tears
or hang down your head.
Remember the good times
and smile instead.
Joyce Tenley

The family would like to thank the staff of Pennington Square, Monticello Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and Above and Beyond for their wonderfully loving and generous care.
