IRENE KATHARINE FALK December 23, 1951 - January 23, 2008 My First Christmas in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, With tiny lights, like heaven's star, reflecting on the snow. The sight is spectacular; please wipe away your tears, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy the voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the Angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your hearts, But I am not so far away, we really are not apart. So be happy for me, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year. I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above; I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more precious than gold, It was always most import in stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do, For I can't count the blessings and love He has for you. So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tears, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year. Lovingly remembered, Dad, Mom, Ron, Karen, Sandi and Fred.
