"When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to do and see. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess-how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you have shown, but now it's time I've traveled alone. So grieve awhile, for grieve you must-then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for awhile we must 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 shall come. Though you can't see to 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."

Forever loved. Forever in our hearts.Forever missed.
