Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the day,
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 we once shared ---
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds-
Miss me, but let me go.
He will be forever missed and greatly loved.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

We met at Page Highschool in the gym. It was a whirlwind after that. We spent every moment together. My heart is broken. You were my first love. My first fiance. My first heartbreak. But you were my best friend and remained friends through our the years. I loved you for you. I will miss our 3am hours long phone calls, I'll miss Pooh bouncing off the porch to greet me. But most of all I'll miss YOU. After you lost your wife and we spent days on the phone you were still fighting covid. My heart broke. But you were strong. No matter what was going on we got each other. One of my fondest memories will always be our week long camping trip to Fall Creek Falls.. and your mom giggling at my thick country accent. Or bottle feeding the 2 calves in the back of the truck last year. One was injured and we managed to get him to stand the other was sick but hungry and ate well. It was a sweet moment. A precious memory. I loved you and learned to love through you. My heart, my thoughts and prayers are with your family especially Justin. The young man you told me so much about and how proud you were of him, how much you loved him. I will truly miss you so much. Remembering what you said the last few times we talked. I'll always cherish you
