Miss Me, But Let Me Go Author Unknown 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 was once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a 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. Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go. The Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on May 18, 2013 at the First Presbyterian Church located at 220 W 22nd St, Cheyenne, WY. Reverend Bob Garrard and Reverend Diana Hartman will be officiating. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given to the First Presbyterian Church, the American Heart Association or a Charity of their choice. The Hamburg Family would like to thank The First Presbyterian Church of Cheyenne as well as Bohlender Funeral Chapel of Fort Collin.
