Song written by Steve Perry 1986 and sung at her funeral entitled, "If You Knew"
If you knew where I am standing, If you could see the sights I see, If you could hear the angels singing the songs they sing eternally. If you knew the One I'm holding could see the smile "HE" smiles at me, if you knew where I am resting "you would not cry for me".
I know you're confused, about my leaving you so soon but I'll be with you again, maybe morning, night or noon, So I'll save a place for you, right beside the Crystal Sea. If you knew where my mansion's standing, you would not cry for me.
I'm resting in the precious arms of JESUS no other place would I rather be, So if you shed a tear, please don't shed it for me. If you knew where I am resting, you would not cry for me. Steve Perry
