Now all we have is memories and your picture in the frame. Your memory is our keepsake,with which we will never part. GOD has you in HIS keeping, WE have you in our HEARTS.

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 to long
and not with your head bowed low
remember the love we once shared
Miss Me But Let Me Go
For this is a journey we all must take
and we each must go alone
it's all part of the masters plan
a step on the road to home
when your alone and sick at heart
go to the friends that we both know
and burry your sorrows in doing good deeds
