So grieve for me awhile if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part. So bless the memories within your heart.I won’t be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come.Though you can’t see or touch me. I’ll be near and if you listen with your heart you’ll hear all my love around soft and clear. And then when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and say “Welcome Home.”Arrangements are under the direction of Pierce Brothers Stetler Mortuary, 128 S. 8th St., Santa Paula; 525-5595.
