Miss Me, But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I hope you realize My pain at last is 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 that we all must take And each must go alone, It’s all a part of a master Plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Just go to some friends you know. Try burying your sorrows in Some good deeds Miss me … but let me go.

    Deeply saddened to hear of Marina's passing... My whole family was so blessed to have known her & her family as she provided care for my brother Kevin and I while we were young. We talk now as adults and both reminisce back about how she was the greatest babysitter ever, the laughs she gave us and how she always treated us like her own... I know for a fact that my mother was there to greet her at the gates. Sending love & condolences to Bonnie, Bernadette, Bradley & family, she will be forever missed and always hold a special place in our hearts.
