When I come to the end of the road
And the sun is setfor me I want no rites in a gloom filled room
W0' cryfor a sou/like me Miss me a little) but not too long And not withyour head bowed low Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me --- but let me go. For this is ajournry we all must take
And each mustgo alone
For it is part ofthe Master's plan
A step on the road to home
Whenyou are lone!J and sick ofheart
Go to the friends we know And buryyour sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me --- but let me go.

Florence Thompson Grogan passed away at home on April 24, 2013, after an extended illness. Florence was born on July 27, 1928 in Norcross, Georgia, the youngest of parents Eugene Thompson and Slety Ella Boyce Thompson.
She graduated from Norcross Elementary School and Washington High School in Atlanta. Florence grew up in and loved her Norcross community and was devoted to the Hopewell Baptist Church where she was baptized at an early age and enjoyed singing in the choir.

Always active in her children's education, she served on the PTA boards and was shepherd for a flock of Bluebirds for several years. For decades, she was a tireless volunteer with March of Dimes.
