A Silent Tear Just close your eyes and you will see All the memories that you have of me Just sit and relax and you will find I'm really still there inside your mind Don't cry for me now I'm gone For I am in the land of song There is no pain, there is no fear So dry away that silent tear Don't think of me in the dark and cold For here I am, no longer old I'm in that place that's filled with love Known to you all, as "up above" Vance-Wilson & Jarrett Funeral Directors "The Epitome of Service" Visitation Tuesday, July 11, 2023 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM Greater Union Hill Baptist Church 58 Sandtown Road Morrilton, AR 72110 Celebration of Life Wednesday, July 12, 2023 11:00 AM Greater Union Hill Baptist Church 58 Sandtown Road Morrilton, AR 72110
