Remember When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile Forget if you can that I ever frowned And remember only my smile Forget unkind words I have spoken Remember some good I have done Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I've had lots of fun Remember I've 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-anonymous Condolences may be sent to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com
