Safely Home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,

Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly In Loving Memory

Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined of Joey Hanna
Every dark ad fearful glade. "Mr. Brown"
And He came Himself to meet me 7/11/41-3/11/97
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,

For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,

So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth -
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,

He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
Gone but never forgotten;

Always in our hearts.
It's been 20 years but still feels like yesterday.
We love you and miss you,
Your wife, Nancy and children Joseph, Elizabeth and Brian

The cold and wind may have kept the mayor and a few other
groups away at the 42nd Annual Queens County St. Patrick's Day

and honorees took to the parade route on Saturday, March 4 as
onlookers cheered on.
