To those I love and those that love me When I’m gone, release me; let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears; Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love you can only guess How much you give me in happiness. I thank you for the love you have shown; But know, it is time I travelled on alone. So, grieve awhile 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 hear All of my love around you soft and dear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and wave, “WELCOME HOME” “If only” tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you BOTH home again. “If Only…” In living memory of Rita Knight, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek Chapel, 14441 BANNISTER ROAD S.E.
