You can only guessHow much you gave me in happiness.I thank you for the love you have shownBut now it's time I traveled alone.So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you mustThen let your grief be comforted by trustIt's only for a while that we must part…So bless the memories that lie within your heart.I won't be far away, for life goes onSo if you need me, call and I will comeThough you can't see me or touch me, I'll be nearAnd if you listen with your heart, you'll hearAll my love around you, soft and clear.And then, when you must come this way alone…I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".Author UnknownThoughts and condolences may be submitted to the family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.comArrangements were placed under the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory.
