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 heads bowed low,
Remember the love and great times
That we all shared…
Miss me … but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take
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 at heart
Go to the friends we know
Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me …but let me go.

Sincere condolences to Viola, her family, and all of Aunt Helen’s family on her passing.
101 years young and always “dressed to the nines”, she will not be forgotten. Aunt Helen
was a strong, independent lady who enjoyed travelling, driving herself until in her early nineties.
A life well lived.
RIP,

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of Helen’s family. She was such a sweet and kind lady and I know she will be missed by all who knew her. I remember her as a young girl traveling to school in west Caledonia in the panel van they had . If we were late we got to walk to school and the same for returning home. I have many fond memories of her when she and Harris lived in Caledonia. Heaven has just gained another beautiful angel. Love and Hugs

Condolences to Helen’s family. Helen had a special place in my heart. We had many good chats when I was a young girl visiting Maitland Bridge, and also years later. Such a sweet lady and always a laugh and smile. xx
Sandra and Rob Carver
Helen will always have a warm spot in my heart. She gave me my first job and left me in charge of her garage along with Doug Parker when she went to Westborough, Mass for Vi’s wedding. She was my next-door neighbor growing up in Maitland Bridge and we enjoyed many good times with her and Harris over the years. She was a woman of strength and determination and a good friend to many people. Our deepest sympathy to all of Helen’s family.
