To Those Whom I Love & 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 too many tears,

But be thankful we had so many good years. I gave you my love, and you can only guess

How much you’ve given me in happiness.

I thank you for the love that you have shown,

But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me a while, if you must,

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It is only for a while that we must part,

So treasure the memories within your heart. I won’t be far away for life goes on,

And if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see or touch me, I will be near;

And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear

All the love around you soft and clear. And then, when you come this way alone,

I’ll greet you with a smile and say “Welcome Home!”

Mrs. Louise Tunstall Williams

My Soulmate, I Love You I still say I love you, but now there’s no reply. I always feel your presence as if you never left my side. I remember your comforting voice; now there’s no sound. Only echoes from the past follow me around. You’re always by my side, but I can’t hold your hand. The reason why God took you, I trying to understand. Summer days seem much shorter; dark nights lingers on. Dreams turns into nightmares when the one you love has gone. But, real love never fades, it still burns like the sun. Although they’re far away, those memories go on and on. Your spirit will never die; it shines like the stars. I know you're sleeping in Heaven, but you’re living in my HEART. Your Loving and devoted husband, Derron

Our Memories Build a Special Bridge When loved ones have to part

To help us feel were with them still

And soothe a grieving heart

They span the years and warm our lives

Preserving ties that bind

Our memories build a special bridge

And bring us peace of mind.

Your grandchildren & great grandchildren

I am going to miss you and we will meet again.

Your sister, Mattie

You Can Only Have One Mother You can only have one mother patient kind and true;

No other friend in all the world, will be the same to you.

When other friends forsake you, to mother you will return,

For all her loving kindness, she asks nothing in return.

As we look upon her picture, sweet memories we recall,

Of a face so full of sunshine, and a smile for one and all.

Sweet Jesus, take this message, to our dear mother up above;

Tell her how we miss her, and give her all our love.

Forever love you Mother

Your Children
