Harris John Gaspard

“Heart of Gold”

A heart of gold stopped beating,

Strong working hands at rest.

A character like no other,

Kindness at its best.

A life lived to the fullest with

Every single chapter.

A smiling face, always joy,

humor and laughter.

Never selfish and always kind,

An honest man with a

Loving legacy left behind.

The very best this world could hold,

Now your Lord and Savior

Has called you home.

Oh death where is your sting?

The angels usher you into heavens glory

As they triumph and sing.

God waiting at the gates

There on His throne

“well done my good and faithful servant,

Welcome Home.
