                                 "To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me"                                                                      " When I am gone, release me, let me go ... You have so many things to see and do  .. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears .. Be happy that we had so many years .. I gave you love.  You canonly guess.. How much you gave me in happiness .. I thank you for the love you each have shown.. But now it's time for I traveled alone.. So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must.. It's only a while we must part..So bless the memories within your heart.. I won't be far away, for life goes on... "   A poem at his funeral.
