Dear All:

I believe all of you know, or perhaps heard, that my father was diagnosed with 
cancer two years ago. After a long and valiant battle, he passed away yesterday 
morning. When he was diagnosed, he was given three to six months to live. 
My family and I were truly blessed to have so much time with him.

The Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday, February 10, at 1:00pm at 
New Hope Church in Hermiston, Oregon. Services for the burial will be provided 
by Burns Mortuary (any flowers can be sent there). There will be a reception 
following the service.

My dad loved music and wrote and produced two gospel albums and one blues/guitar
 album with my mom in the months before he passed away. I would like to include 
the lyrics of a song that he wrote a few years ago, and finally recorded and produced
 last year.

Sincerely,
Rachel Johnson and Family

"Lights of Home"

I've been trav'lin this narrow road
lookin' for a city made of gold
I do believe I can see the lights of home

I've been weak and I've been strong
but Jesus has been with me all along
I do believe I can see the lights of home

Won't be long now 'til I'll be
sittin' with the Master and His company
I do believe I can see the lights of home

Soon my trav'lin will reach an end
somethin's there a'glowin' round the bend
I do believe I can see the lights of home

I do believe I can see the lights of home
I do believe I can see the lights of home
