SOMEWHERE Somewhere beyond the sunset’s end The skies are bright and fair No shadows dim, no darkness falls The land is peaceful there Someone with the power to heal To guide and understand Is waiting there to claim our fears And take us by the hand So when a dear one heeds the call Our hearts should be at rest For there beyond the rainbow end A loving God knows best ~ Unknown ~ We have been blessed to be a part of Art’s extended family and will treasure the many memories he has left us with. Love and Prayers, Jodi and Mark
