“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 body set free.  Miss me a little but not for long.  Remember the love we shared.  Miss me and let me go and I will finally be able to let Ed go.”  As Dr. Seuss said, “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
