Celebrating the New Life of

Till We Meet Again

On June twelfth two thousand and fifteen
From this earth Charlene Gillespie did leave
And to her family, she didn't want to leave behind
But for her God had something else in mind
This isn't goodbye and this isn't the end
For one day we all will be together again
Don't cry for me because my body has been set free
And I know we'll never be apart
As long as I remain in your heart
And when you get lonely and start to cry
I'll be that perfect cloud high in the sky
I'm an angel now sitting by the throne
And I'll always be with you, you'll never be alone
For this isn't goodbye and this isn't the end
For one day we all will be together again
