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.
