To those I love and to those who love me When I'm gone, release me let me go I have so many things to do You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that we had so many years I gave to you my love You can only guess how much you Gave to me in happiness I thank you for the love you each Have shown But now it's time I travelled On alone So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust Its only for awhile that we part So bless the memories within your heart I won't be far away for life goes on; So if you need me, call and I will come Though you can't see me or touch me I'll be near And if you listen with your heart You'll hear all my love around You soft and clear And then, when you must Come this way alone. I'll greet you with a smile and say Welcome Home Celebration of William's life will be held on Tuesday October 2, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. in the Wheeler Funeral Chapel 211 Regent Ave. West.
