""I am Only in the Other Room" "My Father called, and, I am sorry I had to leave. It is ok, I know you love me when you grieve. I am now standing in glory with God, And that you must believe. There will be times when you will wish I was back, But just remember this: I am only in the other room, that space in your hearts, You saved just for me. I am only in the other room. I love you each, as love should be. There will come a time, when we will reunite... It is in the other room." By Brenda VanderWerff Service Information
