Bessie left us with a profound courage and this poem: 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 your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once 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 of heart, Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me - but let me go. Kristone
