Joan Alberta Ford

4 November 1940 – 21 August 2024

 A Stepping Stone to Life


 When death brings weeping
 And the heart is filled with sorrow,
 It beckons us to seek God
 As we ask about tomorrow....
 And in these hours of “heart-hurt”
 We draw closer to believing
 That even death in God’s Hands 
 Is not a cause for grieving
 But a time for joy in knowing
 Death is just a stepping stone
 To a Life that’s Everlasting
 Such as we have never known
