“To those I love- when I am gone, just release me, and let me go, so I can move into my afterglow. You must not tie me down with your tears; let’s 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 each have shown, but now it’s time I travelled on alone. So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted with trust. It’s only for a while that we must part. Bless the memories within your heart. And then when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and a welcome home.”
