    Sorry to hear of your loss Mr. Doroghazi always made me laugh and feel like I was family whenever I was around him. I will keep your family in my prayers.

    I’m Free
    by Shannon Lee Moseley

    Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
    I’m following the path God has chosen 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’ve found now peace at the end of the day.

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

    Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
    look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
    My life’s been full, I savored much;
    good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

    Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
    don’t lengthen your time with undue grief.
    Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
    God wanted me now – He set me free.
