To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am qonc, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown But now it's time I travel on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must Tftcn fet your grief he comforted hry trust. It's only for a little while that we must part, So hless the memories within your heart.
I w on't he 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 he near. And if you listen with your heart you'll hear
A ll of my lo\'e around you soft and dear. Antf then, when you must come this way alone I'll greet you with a smile and "Wefcorne Home."
Words are inadequate to express our sincere tfiantfs to
calls, food, and otfier thoughtful acts shown to us during our bereavement. `M ay Qod bless you a ll is our prayer.
