Obituary For Silas Horace "Bud" Griffin

My prayers have all been answered, I've finally arrived, the healing that has been delayed, has now been realized. No one's in a hurry, no more schedules to keep, I'm enjoying Jesus, just sitting at his feet. If you could see me now, I'm walking streets of gold. If you could see me now, I'm standing tall and whole.

If you could see me now, you would know I've see him face to face; if you could only see me now. Though I've had my sorrows, they never can compare what Jesus has in store for me, no language can ever share. You would not want me to leave this perfect place, If you could only see me now.
