Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Thomas Joseph Devitt, WWII Veteran. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will NEVER be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Thomas.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

I was that which others did not want to be, I went where others feared to go,
And did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing of those that gave nothing And reluctantly accepted the thought of
Eternal loneliness … should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, Felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, felt pain, and hoped…
But most of all, I have lived times others would say are best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was…
