As you look down on us from your Eternal home, mom we will never forget your unfailing love, guidance and support.

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 for long,
And not with head bowed low.
Remember that love that once was shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
