To those I love and those who
love me
When I am gone, release me.
let me go.
You have many things to see
and do
You mustnt tie yourself to me
with tears.
Be thankful for our beautiful
years.
I gave to you my love:
you can only
Guess how much you gave to me
in happiness
Thank you for the love you have
shown,
But now it is time I traveled
alone.
So grieve a while for me, be
comforted by trusts.
It is only for a time we must
part.
So bless the memories in you
heart.
Though you cant see or touch
me,
Ill be near, and if you listen to
your heart,
Youll hear all my love around
you, soft and clear.

September 16, 1917 a great woman was born
My Nanny she did so many great things for me
and my family. I write this with tears on my face,
I miss you rest in peace.
Love Nick
