When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in the 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 me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone, It's part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. REST IN PEACE MY WIFE, OUR MOTHER, AND OUR GRANDMOTHER.
