So sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers. - Love, Judy "When I'm Gone" {author unknown} When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile, Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And remember only the Smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; Remember some good I have done, Forget that I ever had a heartache And remember I've had loads of fun. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for one day. Forget my pain and illness And remember, in your heart I will stay. And come in the evening When the sun paints the sky in the West, After you stood beside me for all those years And please remember only my BEST.
