Cliff & Family,
You have our deepest sympathy!



Miss Me -- But Let Me Go
Unknown


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
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 of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me--But Let me Go!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Weeks family. Mrs. Bertha loved God, her family, and her church (St. Peter's AME) and she will be missed - but Jesus prepared an eternal home for her in heaven and on Friday, January 1, 2010 the home was ready for her to occupy it.

To God be the Glory!
