Edna Smithies

SMITHIES, Edna

September 10, 1937 - May 14, 2022

Edna passed away on Saturday, May 14, 2022 at the age of 84 years.

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 the journey 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 sorrow in doing good deeds

- Miss me, but let me go.

I am sending my deepest sympathies to the family on the loss of a wonderful woman. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her. The support that was always offered in times need, by both my Aunt and Uncle, will remain a reminder of how important family is. Those ties that bind are always at the forefront and shall never be forgotten. They remain strong both in life and after leaving this world. Family is timeless just as is love. Love will always remain as will the many memories that we shared through out the years. May she Rest In Peace. ~ Marylou Speelman
