In honor of our dear sister, Shirley Lucas


"No Tears Past The Gate"
Someone new has entered our eternal home above -
the heavenly gate has opened wide to welcome one you love.
We cannot help the tears that fall -our hearts need time to grieve
when earthly life has ended and a loved one has to leave.
Yet even in the saddest time, we know our Savior lives,
and we can trust completely in the promise that He gives -
that in a glad reunion with the Lord
our loved ones wait to welcome us in joy with
no more tears beyond the gate!
