In Loving Memory Of

William Joseph MacLennan

March 11, 1949-May 7, 2010

God saw he was getting tired, And a cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around him, And whispered, "Come with me."

With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade away.

Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, He is now at peaceful rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

After seven long years of battling cancer and overcoming the odds more then once Bill returned to our Father in Heaven on May 7, 2010. While we will miss having him in our home and hearing his laugh, we are glad to know that he is no longer suffering. He is a wonderful Husband, Father, Step dad, Father In-Law, Brother, Papa, Uncle and Friend. We Love you so much and miss you.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now; he set me free.
