Miss Me – But Let Me Go
I have 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 all the love that we once shared,
Miss Me – but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It’s all part of the Master’s Plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to family and friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me – but let me go. Xoxo

Ava and Baba
Barb will always be missed fwith her happy infectious laugh to her serious informational knowledge of the many branches of her family tree. For each one of our four daughters Barb came to the hospital and gave the granddaughters their very first dress. She was so accommodating and to this day her son Bob and I cherish the many original ceramic creations she made for us. She was a very strong and smart person who helped make life worth living.
Baba you have always been a rock and the strength of our family. I loved visiting with you and sharing my growing family with you. You loved your family and we love you right back with all our hearts. I miss you terribly but I am so happy to know you are reunited with Grandpa!
We will miss you baba, thank you for the birthday wishes.
