Bob and family, I’m sooo sorry about your loss. Remember this saying, it helps me with my Dad(Dick Manthey, my Uncle Stu, and my Uncle Earl:Do Not Grieve for me
DO NOT GRIEVE FOR ME
Do not grieve for me, for now I am free,
I am following the path God has laid, you see.
I took his hand when I heard his call.
I turned my back and left it all.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
For I am following the light of another day.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Good times, good friends and a loved ones touch.
Oh, yes, these things I too will miss much.
Do not burden yourself with undue grief,
My path was chosen by God.
Do not grieve for me for now I am free.
We love and miss you guys!!
My brother Dave bought Uncle Stu’s property and my little brother Butch bought Babcock’s right next door.
