Arrangements by Lynch Conner-Bowman Funeral Home, 140 Floyd Avenue, Rocky Mount, VA 24151…540-483-5533 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 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 make 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.
