My deepest appreciation for the time God allowed me to be a part of the lives of Bill and Frances. I will miss Bill and forever share a bond with Frances through our time together. Bill's strength and integrity were insurmountable, yet his sense of humor could make me see life in a totally different perspective. It was his most difficult time in life that God allowed me to be a part of this family, and I became the beneficiary of a legacy in the making. Bill lived a good life and blessed many people along the way. I love you Bill and thank you Frances for allowing me into your world.

Shall We Gather at the River

Words and Music by Rev. Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
 

 Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Chorus

Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.

On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.

Chorus

Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

Chorus

Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

Chorus
