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 was shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For this journey we all must 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 at heart, go to the friend we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.
To Tina and family: My heart, go out to you in your time of sorrow. GOD has another beautiful ANGEL in his garden.
May GOD be with you all.

To Carnell Gray and Skipper Family, my prayers and sympathy goes
out to you. I have so many wonderful memories of Elaine. We lived
just across the alley form each other. We played and walked to school
together, from elementary and all through high school. Elaine had the
sweetest smile and best laugh. Those fun times I will always
remember and cherish. It was a honor and blessing to have known
such a wonderful and sweet person. May your heart be filled with the
joy, love and fun memories of one of God's Angels "Valeria Elaine
Skipper Gray".
