Miss Me But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road,
/\nd the sun has set lor me, I want no rites in g loom-1-illed rooms,
Why cry lo r a so ul set free? Mi ss me a little--but not too long, And not with yo ur head bowed low ~ Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me--but let me go. For this is a j ourney that we all must take,
And each mu st go alone. It's all a part or the Ma ster's plan,
A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the tlie ncl s we know, And busy your so rrows in doing good deeds .
Mi ss me - but let me go.
Acknowledgements The family of the late Sister Mary Louise Arnold wishes to express their gratitude for all acts of kindness and all acts of love. Your thoughtfulness helped us get through a ditiicult period in our lives. Special thanks to the staff at Morrell Nursing Center.

"Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: rVe are cot~fident, I say, and wiiling rather to he absent fron1 the body, and to be present with the Lord."
II Corinlhions 5: 6, 8
Sister Mary Louise Arnold was such a gi It to all of us. We thank God lor giving us a priceless treasure. We know that our beloved had to transcend this life to be with our Heavenly Father.
Our loved one, Sister Mary Louise Arnold, was born April 29, 1924 in Darlington County. She was the devoted daughter of the late Richard Arnold and Laura Jones. She was educated in the public schools of the area.
On September 23 , 20 I 2 at Morrell Nursing Center in Hartsville, SC, she left this world peacefully to be with our Heavenly father. Because our beloved had prepared to meet her Master, we, family and friends are pleased to know that our mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend is free of the trials and tribulations of this world. Because she is resting, we say, "Thank you, Lord."
Sister Arnold loved the Lord and served with distinction at Antioch Baptist Church. She was well respected because she practiced what she believed. She believed in the teachings of Jesus Christ and she practiced the Golden Rule. Because she was a servant, she was a devout missionary.
She was a hard worker. She worked in the cafeteria as a cook at Washington Street Ele1nentary School.
She served the stafr and students with love, kind words and as a positive role model. She was an asset to the schooL community and Darlington County. She served in the schools lor thirty plus years with patience and pride.
She was an excellent cook and served all meal s with love. Family and friends enjoyed many delicious meals in her home.
Because she touched the lived of many adults and children, she will be remembered, appreciated and missed. Those surviving to cherish her loving memory are: a daughter, Betty (Thomas) Lucky of Hartsvi lie, SC~ sons, James (Winnie) Arnold of Hartsville, SC and Dale .(Cynthia) Arnold of McBee, SC; brothers~ Jessie (Dorothy) Arnold of Brooklyn, New York and Reverend Jo l nny (Ba rbara) Arno ld of Albany, Geo rgia; sister, Mrs. Atny Scott of Baltimore, Maryland~ many loving grandchildren; great grandchildren; nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors and friends.
I'm Free Don 't grieve ./(Jr me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has laid you see. 1 Look His hand when 1 heard His call. I turned my back and le.fi it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Task le.fi undone must stay that way, 1 found peace at the close of day.
ff my parting has le.fi a void then fill it with remembered
joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things too, I will miss. Be not burdened with times qf sorruw, I wi..,h you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life 's been full, I've savored much good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my Lime seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undo grief Lift up your heart and peace to thee God wanted me now; He Set Jvfe Free!
