My Last Request
Please don’t say that I gave up; Don’t say I lost the battle, for it was God’s war to lose or win. Please don’t say how good I was, but that I did my best. Just say, I tried to do what’s right, to give the most I could, not less. I want no more than I deserve, no extras, just due.
“A SERVICE ABOVE SELF”
Please remember to keep the Dobson family lifted in prayer.
