To Those I Love When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to do and see You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy we had so many years. I gave you my love
You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown
But now it's time I travel on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for awhile that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, For life goes on
So, if you need me call and I will come... Though you can't see or touch me,
I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, You ' ll hear all my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say, " Welcome Home".
Acknowledgments

"God saw you getting tired and the cure was not to be, so He wrapped His arms around you and whispered, come to me. You are now at rest andfree from aches and pains. "
Deacon Randolph Joseph Hudson was born in Darlington County on May 3 1, 1931 a son of the late Reverend Rainey and Alberta Hudson. He entered into his eternal rest early Sunday morning, October 28, 2012 at his residence in his sleep after a brief illness.

At an early age, he was converted and joined Pleasant Grove Baptist Church where he attended faithfully until he and his family moved and made their home in Philadelphia, PA; there he joined Rome Emanuel Baptist Church where he was a faithful member serving in many capacities and was ordained as a Deacon. After retiring from Nicholson & File, he and his family moved back home to Darlington County and joined New Providence Baptist Church and continued as a faithful Deacon, serving as Chairman of the Deacon Board for several years until his passing.

He started the Men Breakfast of New Providence Baptist Church which he was the Chief Cook every 4th Saturday in the Month. He loved his family and they loved him. He will be dearly missed by his family, church family and friends. He will be remembered as a distinguished gentleman with the white mustache.
