Jermiah Wright

When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. 

Our Lord and Savior called his faithful servant, our beloved Jermiah to rest on

Laughter.

God saw you getting weary, so He did what He thought best 

He came and stood beside your bed, And whispered, 'Come and Rest' 
You wished no one a fond farewell nor even said goodbye, 

You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. 

When God called you to come to rest, you didn't go alone 
For part of us went with you the day God took you home. 

Sorrowfully submitted, 
The Family
