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 to 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 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 the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me-but let me go. I love and miss you! Your Sister Annette SPECIAL MEETING SCHEDULED The North Liberty V.F.W.
