WHEN I'M GONE
(by R Stanley Johns)
If when I'm gone my boys can say-
Dad did his best in every way
To make of us strong men and true-
Then I will think my task is thru.

If when I'm gone my girls can say,-
Dad did his best from day to day,
To keep us sweet and kind and good
I will have done the best I could

If my associates at work
Can say he never tried to shirk
But did his job in a manly way,
That's all I'll care for them to say.

If those I've met along the way
Can really mean and truly say
He eased our burden and lightened
our sorrow
I'll have no fear of the tomorrow.

Dear helpmate if I've done for you
Those things that made my love
ring true,
If you can say I really tired
Then I can pass on satisfied

Dear Lord, if I, in my life's span
Have always tried to be a man
If to friends and neighbors I've been true
I will have no fear of meeting you.

Patriarch Ray S. Thurman, Bro Turners former bishop, spoke of his boyhood life, of his Priesthood. (rest of obit not found)
