Miss me a little but not for long, And not with your heads bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey that we must all take, And each must go alone. Its all part of the Masters plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me but let me go. - - At Dorothys request, no funeral services will be held. We would like to thank Horizon Hospice and Royal Park Retirement Center staff for all the care she received. Dorothy was a much loved daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, companion and friend and will be greatly missed by all.
