When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, Why mourn for us souls set free? Miss me a little, but not too much and not with your head hung low. Remember the joys we once shared, miss me but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. It is all a part of the Master’s plan, a stop on the road to home. When you are weary and sad at heart go to the friends you know. Bury your sorrow in doing good deeds, miss me but let me go. To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Arthur W.
