Dear Belinda and Stephen, hopefully you will read this one day, as I’d like to contact Belinda. Thank you for coming to Dennis’ funeral, he had a beautiful turnout, and there was so much love shown on the day, for my Brother. You can reach me on my Instagram in the name of - natalierowe38.

I'm Free
Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow;
My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much,
Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch.
If my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief;
Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

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 for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It’s all part of the master plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.
