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 that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Ms. Debra Lynn Hensley (Britton Funeral Home)
Ms. Debra Lynn Hensley brought 66 years of kindness, beauty, and strength to this world before going to rest in the arms of Jesus on August 20th, 2024.
Deb devoted her life to the service of others. She spent two decades in her career as an EMT, regularly laboring 96 hours or more each week, not only to provide a better life for her family, but also because she truly loved her work, co-workers, and her patients. Her work ethic, perseverance, and resilience was unmatched and her love of life was infectious. Her joyful, carefree attitude was evidenced every single day and though she often carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, you would never see her stumble nor her smile ever fade. The only thing that Deb took greater pride in than her work was her family. On her own, she raised her daughters and went on to play a monumental role in raising her grandchildren. She loved tirelessly and unselfishly and though the void she leaves is vast, the legacy she leaves is far greater.
