"To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me"
When I am gone, release me, let me go-I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be thankful for our many beautiful years. I gave you my love, you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love each have shown
But now it's time I travel alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you just, Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time 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 me or touch me, I'll be near And if you listen with your heart, you will h e arAll 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."
-Acknowledgement The family acknowledges with sincere appreciation your prayers, the flowers, cards, fo o d and other acts o f kindness shown during
our hours o f bereavement. May God richly bless each o f you. ....THE FAM ILY
