In Memory Of Lewis Blanton

He left us the greatest legacy a person can leave
One of unconditional LOVE..He will always be in our hearts...his wife and family.

When I came into this family, 9 years ago..I was accepted unconditionally, as a daughter and a sister, not just an In-Law. I have never known a family that stands by each other so strongly as I have seen in this family. And it is thru Daddy that they have learned to do this! This is my contribution to the dedication of this page...as his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of his children and they pass it down to their own and to the people they meet along life's paths!! I love and miss you!!! Your "daughter-in-law" Lu Ann


If You Could See Where I Have Gone"

If you could see where i have gone
      The beauty of this place
And how it feels to know you're home
       To see the Savior's face,
To wake in peace and know no fear,
       Just joy beyond compare,
While still on earth you miss me yet,
       you wouldn't want me there,
If you could see where i've gone.
If you could see where i've gone,
      Had made the trip with me,
You'd know i didn't go alone,
      The Savior came with me,
When i awoke, He was by my side,
      And reached down his hand,
Said, "Hurry, you're going home
      To a grand and glorious land
"Don't worry over those you love,
      For i'm not just with you,
And don't you know with you at home,
      They'll long to be here too?"
If you could see where i've gone,
      And see what i've been shown,
You'd never know another fear,
      Or ever feel alone,
you'd marvel at the care of God
      His hand on every life,
And realize He really cares,
      And bears with us each strife,
And that He weeps when one is lost,
      His heart is filled with pain,
But oh the joy when one comes home,
      A child at home again.
If you could see where i've gone,
      could stay awhile with me,
could share the things that God has made,
              To grace eternity,
But, no, you couldn't ever leave,
      Once heaven's joy you'd known,
You couldn't bear to walk earth's paths
      once heaven was your home
If you see where i've gone.
If you could see where i've gone,
      you'd know we'll meet some day,
And though i'm parted from you now,
      That i'm am just away
so thank you wife, thank you children,
      For living for the Lord
For encouraging me to love Him,
      To trust Him and His word,
And know that i'm home with him,
      Secure in every way,
I'm waiting here at heaven's door,
         To greet you some sweet day.
