But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me, and told me “Welcome Home.” So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.”In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Blind Association.Please visit www.spencerdgeibel.com.
