IN MEMORIAM

In Memory of

Virginia Winters

July 4, 2023

I wouldn't small talk with Peter 'bout those pearly gates

I'd ask him to let me on in

And I'd say somebody's waiting on the other side

That I'd really like to catch up with

If I had seven minutes in Heaven

I know just what I'd do

Take a walk down those golden streets

And find a quiet corner booth

I wouldn't spend all my seconds asking God questions

'Cause He knows I'd be back soon

If I had seven minutes in Heaven,

I'd spend them all with you.

How's the fireworks up there

Have you been getting our prayers

We've been sending them every night

The only issue here is oh, Lord, we miss you

But I swear we're doing alright

Does the weather get colder?

Do you ever grow older?

Does it feel like a blink of an eye?

'Cause I'm so glad to be here

And I sure hope they serve beer

'Cause, for me, it's been a long time

And when it's last call,

I'll hug ya

And I'll tell you,

"I love ya"

But I won't say goodbye

Right now, I gotta leave

But the next round's on me

And I know it won't be the last time

If I had seven minutes in Heaven

I know just what we’ll do

Take a walk down those golden streets

And find that same old corner booth

If We had seven minutes in Heaven

We'd spend them all with you.

We Miss You,

Paul, Tom, Sandy, Kenny, Judy, Kathy, Mary, Bill, and Carol
