Kelly read this poem at the funeral.
"TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME"
When I am gone release me and let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that we had so many years
I gave you my love
You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love you each have shown
But now it’s time I traveled on alone
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It’s only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart
I won’t be far away for life goes on
So if you need me call me and I will come
Though you can’t see or touch me I’ll be near
And if you listen with your heart you’ll hear
All of my love around you soft and clear
And then when you must come this way alone
I’ll great you with a smile and “Welcome home.”
