In Loving Memory of Sheila Johnson 10/24/45- 04/19/2013
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 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 that 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 friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me- but let me go.

Thoughts
As I opened my eyes this morning
I looked to the heavens above,
I whispered, 'Happy Birthday, Mom,
And sent you all my love.

Goodbye
In our minds we always knew
this time would come to pass.
But knowing it, and living it,
has come and gone so fast.
Goodbyes are often hard to say,
they hurt so very much.
Though you're not gone.
You still remain,
in the minds, hearts, and lives you've
touched.

I think this song saids quite a bit of how I feel.
Goodbye my friend
Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel
So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now
Goodbye my friend
I've seen a lot things that make me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
We could've run away and left well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew
So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away these tears
I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
Life's so fragile and love's so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we never know why
But I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend

Mama,
I miss you so much. I just wanted to tell you that everyone is doing ok. I know that you are for ever watchful over all of us. THANK YOU for helping us all still by guiding us in the right direction, for shoving some of us more stubborn ones down the right path. I love the way you continuously let us know that you are still with us and at the same time giving us all a little bit of extra money, lol, hence your dimes. You have been a great mentor and friend. I will be forever indebted to you and your family. Enjoy your cloud that you have been granted as you watch over all of us like a good comedy sitcom.
