Remember Me When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can that I ever frowned and only remember my smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember the good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I've had loads of fun. Forget that I've stumbled and blundered and sometime fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day. But in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of evening when the sun paints the sky in the West. Stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best. French Mortuary 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE (505) 823-9400
