MISS ME - BUT LET ME GO When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filed 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 me - but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone, Its all a part of the Masters 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 sorrow in doing good deeds Miss me - but let me go. Klassen Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements, phone 338-0331.
