In memory of SHAWN BENJAMIN SLATER

September 1, 1987 to September 12, 2005.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of His saints.

Psalm 116:15How valuable is your death to God, even precious in His sight.And this day is greater than the day of your birth.With yearning heart and longing arms we believe what He has said.Four years, today, He called to you . . . It's time to leave this earth.It won't be long, we do believe, we'll be joined in Him together.The "Ultimate" that you must see . . . His holiness and glory!He's used your life and "His calling you home" for many hearts to know.Life's a vapor . . . we're withered grass . . . His judgment's not a story.I see your smile within my mind and once hearty laughter thrills my soul.You're knowing God now, Face to Face . . . And worshiping at His feet.This excites my soul of knowing that He's called you to Himself.Our God, Eternal Love and GRACE, has made your soul complete.We won't forget your laughter, warmth, and silly mannerisms.A special sparkle in your eye that twinkled in anticipation.We'll rejoice and celebrate this day, today, that God has made for us,But ever mindful of YOUR DAY, amazing GRACE in celebration.We miss you Shawnee Guy but God loves you more.
