We wish to thank the staff of Niagara Falls General Hospital for their compassionate care during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations to Walker Family Cancer Centre would be kindly appreciated. When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in gloom-filled rooms, 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 that we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know, And busy your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me - but let me go.
