TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVED ME
When I am gone, release me. Let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears, be
happy, we had so many years.
I gave you my love and you can only guess
how much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown
but now it’s time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me if grieve you must
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part
so bless those memories in your heart.
I won’t be far away for life goes on
so if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near
with all my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone
I’ll greet you with a smile and
“Welcome You Home”.
There was no visitation as cremation has taken place. A celebration of life for Lynda and internment will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dryden Regional Health Centre Equipment fund through the Dryden Community Funeral Home, 249 Grand Trunk Ave., Dryden, ON P8N 2X3
