I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting Light.
All the pain and grief is over.
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly trod
The valley of the shade?
Oh!but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you.So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth.
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come.

We love you Detective Powers. It's nice to know we have angels in heaven watching over us. Will you pray for us as we pray for you.

Thank you for your dedication and devotion to the safety of your fellow man. Keep busy. I'm sure God has a job for you up there.
