Viviani -- BUD VIVIANI (HENRY JR.) May 26, 1949 - February 8, 1999Miss Me-But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no tears in a gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free.Miss Me a little but not to long And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love we 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 part of the Master's plan and 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 goWE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE THAN EVER LOVE, Kathleen, Sean, Derek
