French Mortuary, Wyoming Chapel 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE GRIEVE NOT Grieve not when I have gone away, but think of wonderful days I was allowed to stay, to be with my family, other loved ones and friends. Many thanks to all who gave me courage to go on, when the mountains seemed too high, and I did not feel very strong. I know I often made mistakes, but please know that I tried to give more than I would take. I loved each of you with all my heart, so remember only the happy times before we had to part.
