When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want to rise 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 and let me go
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It’s all 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.
Jess’s desire was to be cremated and hold a family service.
The Dodson family would like to thank everyone for their kind words, support, and prayers. .
