Happy Trails!

Participating in Bob Lowery's funeral yesterday was bittersweet. It was filled with fitting tributes and laugh-out-loud anecdotes. It was so good to see former classmates and professors -- and so sad to say goodbye. In the end, the 2-hour tribute which honored God first and Bob second, was closed with hundreds singing "Happy Trails." Bob was a cowboy at heart, you see. He fought the good fight, loved well, and served many. He lived by the book -- God's book.


Lyrics to "Happy Trails" by Dale Evans Rogers
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.



Alternate Religious Verse:
Happy trails to you, it's great to say "hello".
And to share with you the trail we've come to know.
It started on the day that we met Jesus,
He came into our hearts and then he freed us.
For a life that's true, a happy trail to you.
