Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

If I should ever leave you whom I love To go along the Silent Way, grieve not, Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk Of me as if I were beside you there, (I'd come... I'd come, could I but find a way! But would not tears and grief be barriers?) And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, Please do not let the thought of me be sad... For I am loving you just as I always have... You were so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still to do... So many things to say to you... Remember that I did not fear... It was just leaving you that was so hard to face... We cannot see Beyond... But this I know; I loved you so... 'Twas heaven here with you! Isla Paschal Richardson, American poet
