When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for meI want no rights 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 the love that we once shared, miss me but let me go!For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone.It's all a part of the master's plan, a step on the road home.When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to the friends we know.Bury your sorrows in doing good for others.Miss me, but let me go!
Ruby will be placed next to Jean at The National Cemetery on Thursday, April 16th at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, she asked that you make donations to a Veteran organization, and/or children hospital.
