In Loving Memory

        Benjamin L. McDaniel
        September 4, 1974 - July 22, 1996

        Benjamin was 21 years old when he died in an apartment fire along with his fiance, Krystal and their daughter, Ivy.

        Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
        I'm following the path God laid for me
        I took his hand when I heard his call,
        I turned my back and left all.
        I could not stay another day,
        to laugh, to love, to work, or play.
        Tasks left undone must stay that way.
        If my parting has left a void,
        then fill it with remembered joy.
        A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
        ah yes these things too I will miss.
        Be not burdened with times of sorrow
        I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
        My life tho short, has been full, I savored much
        good friends, a loved one's touch.
        Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
        don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
        Lift up your hearts and share with me,
        God wanted me now,
        He set me free.
