Michael (Mike) Rose, 40 years old of Mt. Juliet was surrounded by family and friends on January 16, 2023, when Pastor Ron Ham calmed his mind and helped him pass to the other side. Mike fought a good fight, but the aggressiveness of his cancer proved to be too much in the end. Mike enjoyed many different hobbies, and the chances that he could be found out on Old Hickory Lake fishing any given day was better than flipping a coin. Outdoors Mike enjoyed hunting and camping as well, but indoors,...

To My Father A giant pine, magnificent and old Stood staunch against the sky and all around Shed beauty, grace and power. Within its fold birds safely reared their young. The velvet ground beneath was gentle, and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by. Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid, As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”. It fell one day. Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void. But men who passed paid tribute – and...

To Those Whom I Love & Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years. I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much you've given me in happiness. I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It is only...

I’M FREE Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call: I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found my place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too shall miss. Be not burdened with...

A Fallen Limb A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you...
