THE DEMISE OF THE DEPARTED It matters not what lies below It's only a body in decomposition The marker a resting place for a crow The body below awaits a transition One day that body will be resurrected Let's pray their eternity is what they expected 27 September 2019 Image 2

Thank you so much, Debra! I apologize for not responding sooner, but I have been on extended vacation. Pigeon Forge was beginning to have the regular beauty in the leaf changes. Retirement is wonderful.
