For this one farmer the worries are over, put the tractor in the shed, Dad.

Put away your tools and sleep in peace.  The fences have all been mended.

Hang up your shovel inside the barn.  Your work here on earth is done.

Take off your gloves.  No more sweat and worry for you now.

The sun is setting, the cattle are all bedded, and here now is the end of your day.

Your labor is done, your home is now in Heaven.  No more must you wait, don't worry Dad, we'll close the gate!

A private service will b held at a later date for his immediate family.  Arrangements are entrusted with the Sheldon Funeral Home, 155 Church St., Wyalusing, PA.
