To The Nelson/Darby/Williams, Family

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO

When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me; I want no rite in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul, set free ? You may miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your heads bowed low; Just remember all the love that we all have shared,
Please miss me, but let me go
For this is a journey we all must take, And we each must go alone;
You see It's all a part of the MASTER'S PLAN,
Just a step on the road to home.
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO !
Stay Encouraged and keep the Faith that GOD will bring you all through this difficult time.

To the Darby and Williams Family

Light A Candle light a candle, see it glow, watch it dance, when you feel low, think of me, think of light, I'll always be here, day or night, a candle flickers, out of sight, but in your heart, I still burn bright, think not of sadness, that I'm not near, think of gladness, and joyous cheer, I have not left, I am not gone, I'm here to stay my little one, so when you light a candle and you see it glow and you watch it dance in your heart you'll know that I would never leave you even when you feel so blue I'm sitting up here with the Lord and now watching over you. May god give you the strength through your time of loss. We will keep you all in our prayers.
