When I am dead Cry for me a little, Think ofme sometimes, But not too much
It is not goodfor you, your wife or your children To allow your thoughts to dwell
Too long in the dead
Think ofme now and again, As I was in life
At sotne moment it is pleasant to recall, But not for long.
Leave me in peace, And I shall/eave you,
Too, in peace. While you live Let your thoughts be with the living.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT The family acknowledges all ofyour concern and appreciates your comforting tnessages, flower a"angements, prayers and the many expressions ofkindness and love.
