| Biography | |
| When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me,<br /> I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, why cry for a soul set free...<br /> Miss me a little but not too long and not with your head bowed low...<br /> Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me but let me go...<br /> For this journey that we all must take and each must go alone...<br /> It's all part of the Master's Plan, a step on the road to home...<br /> When we are lonely and sick at heart, go to the friends we know, <br /> and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds...Miss me but let me go...<br /> Poem by Kristi Bishop, Sister-in-Law<br /> <br /> "A hero is one who is recognized by their courage, admired for their leadership, embraced for their inner strength and respected for their nobility," said Danny Green of Covenant Family Church.
