Miss me, but let me go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free

Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go


For this is a journey that we must all take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home


When you are lonely, and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go

Grandma Nita,

You and Granpa Bobbie immediately became Grandma Nita and Grandpa Bobbie to us. You took our family in like we were always family. I remember Grandpa Bobbie driving the kids on the cheese bus to school. Most of all, I will remember his smile. He had a smile that lit up a room. We love you and we're there for you and the family if you need ANYTHING.
