To Those I love and Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do

You must not tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had these years.

I gave you my love, you can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it’s time I travel on.

I am not alone, no tears for me you shed, For I am not alone.

Let your grief be comforted by trust, I am in God’s heavenly home.

The care and love you gave me on earth No one can measure its worth.

So keep the memories within your heart I won’t be far away for life goes on

So if you need me, call 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. I have a father and mother, sister and brother there,

For I am not alone. I remember the joy and love we shared

And all the pain will be gone And then when you must come this way,

I’ll greet you with a smile and say “Welcome Home.”

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, John Thomas

“J.T.” Hall; her mother and father, Mattie Bell Garrison and J.P.
