"Dear Lollie,Rich and Family;Our hearts go out to you and your family.We feel your sorrow and are there for you should you need anything.May these words comfort you all. Love Joel and Liz To Those I Love When I am gone,release me,let me go. You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years together. I gave you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in return. I thank you for the love you have shown me but now it’s time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part. So bless the memories with your heart.I won’t be far away,for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come, though you can’t see or touch me. I’ll be near and if you listen with your heart you'll feel all of my love around you softly and clearly And then, when you must come this way alone, I’ll be there to greet you with a smile and welcome you home."
