If friends so desire memorial donations may be made to Manitoba Autism Research Team, 771 Bannatyne Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 3N4. When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me. I want no rite 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 we once shared. Miss mebut let me go. For this is a journey that we must all 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 of heart, Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss mebut let me go. Poet Unknown The Coutu family in care of arrangements: E. J. COUTU CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 680 Archibald St. 253-5086
