Goodbye to Sister Sarah © 2000
by Barbara A. Seals Nevergold, Ph.D.

No mournful dirges for Sister Sarah
No bitter tears, only tears of joy and love
No mumbled prayers, but shouts of praise and thanksgiving
No hushed whispers about Sister Sarah
Honor to her memory, thanks for her life in Christ and her place in glory
No mournful dirges for Sister Sarah
Our sister of laughter, beautiful smile
Great big hugs
Voice like an angel
Singing in the heavenly choir
No mournful dirges for Sister Sarah
We come to remember her in song and words of thanksgiving
For a life of giving, love and joy

In memory of Sarah Woods
