Miss Me, But Let Me Go
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 we once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go. The Scipio-Hook Family Acknowledgment The family of the late James R. Scipio is truly grateful for the many acts of kindness that have been expressed during their time of bereavement. May God bless you all. Bostick-Tompkins Funeral Home 2930 Colonial Drive Columbia, South Carolina 29203

Reflections of His Life 6
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 21:6-7 (KJV)
