Louise Mason

Louise Whiting Mason, of Birmingham passed away on March 10, 2011. "I'm free, Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I am following the path God laid for me, I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work, to play, tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss, Ah, these things I too will miss, Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full I savored much good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me God. God wanted me now; He set me free."
