Pall Bearers Bill Brock Paul Dobson Bobby Henderson Lonnie Horne DW Tatum George Scott "When Tomorrow Starts Without Me" "When tomorrow starts without me," and I'm not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We did not get to say. I know how much you loved me, As much as I loved you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me , Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand And said my place was ready In Heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For everytime you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart. The Valediction " I shall pass thru this world but once. Any good, therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do now and not defer it. For I shall not pass this way again".
