I’m Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following paths God made for me
I took his hand I heard him call
Then turned, and bid farewell to all
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to sing, to play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found my peace... at close of play
And if my parting left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened... deep with sorrow
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full I've savoured much
Good friends, good times
A loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with grief
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wants me now... He set me free.

The family would like to thank Anderson Family Funeral Home, Chief &
Council, Chemawawin Band staff, Chemawawin Health, CLCP,
Chemawawin School, Chemawawin Gaming, family & friends and to all the people for their donations, to all of the cooks, and thank you to Stanley
Daniels and Elizabeth Daniels (Captain) for keeping the fire going all night.
If we missed anyone, it's not intentional.
