Don’t grieve for me, from pain I’m free.
I’m following the path God has laid, you see
I took His hand when I heard His call
I turned around and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now, from pain I’m free.
Donations in LeRoy’s memory can be made to the Cross Cancer Institute c/o Alberta Cancer Foundation, 11560 University Avenue, Edmonton AB, T6G 1Z2, 780–432-8500.
