| IN MEMORY OF PAPA Written by Doris Jean Bell |
| THE BIRDS WERE SINGING FROM THE TREES, THE SMELL OF FLOWERS WAS ON THE BREEZE. THE SUN WAS SHINING BRIGHT THE DAY, THAT PAPA LEVI WAS CALLED AWAY. HIS JOURNEY HERE ON EARTH IS DONE HIS TASKS COMPLETE ONE BY ONE, THE YEARS HE TOILED WERE EIGHTY SEVEN THEN GOD CALLED HIM HOME TO HEAVEN. HE LEFT BEHIND A WIFE SO DEAR BUT IN HER HEART, HE'S ALWAYS NEAR, ALSO FIVE DAUGHTERS AND A SON OH, HE'LL BE MISSED BY EVERYONE. BUT GOD IS GOOD AND HE KNOWS BEST, PAPA LEVI HAS EARNED HIS REST. HE'S MET HIS SAVIOR FACE TO FACE, AND PRAISED HIM FOR AMAZING GRACE. |
| DORIS: "I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AT WORK TO TELL ME OF PAPA LEVI'S PASSING AWAY. WHEN I WALKED OUTSIDE, IT WAS SUCH A PERFECT SPRING DAY WITH BIRDS SINGING. A SLIGHT BREEZE AND THE SCENT OF FLOWERS WERE EVERYWHERE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IT WAS, TO BE GOING HOME TO JESUS" ~ ~ WRITTEN ON APRIL, 3, 1981 |
