The kindness of the Remington's staff me mbers is greatly appreciated and will always be remembered. A very speci al thank you to Jean Koch and Kathy Kohnke for their desire to keep Mart ha in their care for four long years even though she required total car e. For that we will be eternally grateful. I'm Free Don't grieve for me, f or now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand wh en I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay ano ther day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks undone must stay that w ay. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void th en fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, a h, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorr ow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savor ed much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time se emed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your h earts and share with me God wanted me now: He set me free. Gunderson Ea st Funeral Home (608) 221-5420
