In Memory of Lisa

It was a good service. Standing room only. Lots of tears, lots of laugh. The beginning of emotional healing.

David, Lisa's husband, and another gentleman sang this song below, a cappella.

Some day, written by Olive Stockton

Some day when my last line is written
Some day when I've drawn my last breath
When my last words on earth have been spoken
And my lips are sealed in death

Don't look in my cold form in pity
Don't think of me as one dead
It'll just be house I once lived in
My spirit by then will have fled

I'll have finished my time here allotted
But I'll won't be in darkness alone
I will have heard from heaven
The summons to come on home

And when my body is in the grave
Don't think that I'll be there
I won't be dead, but living
In the place Jesus went to prepare

And after all is said and done
Know that my last earnest prayer
Is that my loved one ready
Some day meet me there
