When I come to the end of my journey. And the sun has set for me. I want no tears in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me little-but not too long. And not with your heard hung low. Remember the laughter 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. Its all a part of the fathers plan. A step on our grand road home. When you are lonely and sick at heart. Go to the friends we know. And busy your sorrows by doing a kindness. Miss me-but let me go.
Jeanne was a very nice lovable person she always had a great smile and made us laugh all the time we’ll miss your great sense of humor we will miss you forever.
