Don't cry for me,
I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now,
and this is where I'll stay.

Don't cry for me,
I'm where I belong.
I want you to be happy
and try to stay strong.

Don't cry for me,
It was just my time.
But I will see you someday
on the other side.

Don't cry for me,
I am not alone.
The angels are with me
to welcome me home.

Don't cry for me,
for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone,
and Jesus took my tears.

Don't cry for me,
this is not the end.
I'll be waiting her for you,
when we meet again.

At Debra's request, there will be no funeral services.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made as one chooses.
