Leland Cooper

Leyland Cooper

In loving memory of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Leland Cooper, on Father’s Day and his birthday June 24th.

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 journey we all must take,

And each must go alone.

It’s all a part of the Master’s Plan,

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,

Go to the friends we know.

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

Miss me, but let me go.
