Jenny Kingsbury Mccook
June 5, 1969 — February 12, 2010
Her Journey’s Just Begun
Don’t think of her as gone away, her journey’s just begun.
Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing that we could know, today.
How nothing but our sadness, can really pass away.
And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost . . . .
And she was loved so much!
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow.”
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
I Peter 5: 10 - 11
