Weep Not For Me


Weep not for me though I have gone into that gentle night

Grieve if you will, but not for long

Upon my souls sweet flight I am at peace, my soul's at rest

There is no room for tears for with your love

I was so blessed for all those many years

There is no pain, I suffer not

The fear is now all gone

Put now these things out of your thoughts

In your memory I live on

Remember not my fight for breath

Remember not the strife

Please do not dwell upon my death

But celebrate my life


A memorial service will be held at Highlands Baptist Church on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 12:00 pm. 


Arrangements are entrusted to Weems & Sons Funeral Homes, 512 East Noble Avenue Williston, Florida 32696.

I will always remember how welcoming your dad and mom were. Your house was the only place I was allowed to visit in high school, and every time I walked in, they made me feel like family. They treated me like a daughter, and I’ll never forget how safe, loved, and at home I always felt there. Your dad’s hard work, faith, and kindness—together with your mom’s warmth—left a lasting impression on my life, and I am forever grateful.
