"There is a bridge that takes us home, we cannot walk around. When we see God's outstretched hands, we know we are homeward bound. We must not grieve when loved ones leave, only God knows what is best. When our work on earth is done, we must cross the bridge of rest."

With deepest sympathy to the Carlisle Family, From Dinah & The Reese Family
