In the words of author, James Whitcomb Riley, “Say farewell, and let me go; Shatter every vow! All the future can bestow will be welcome now! And if this fair hand I touch I have worshipped overmuch, It was my mistake—and so, Say farewell, and let me go. Say farewell, and let me go; Murmur no regret, Stay your tear-drops ere they flow—Do not waste them yet! They might pour as pours the rain, and not wash away the pain: I have tried them and I know.—Say farewell, and let me go. Say farewell, and let me go; think me not untrue—True as truth is, even so I am true to you! If the ghost of love may stay where my fond heart dies to-day, I am with you always—so, Say farewell, and let me go”. Good night my love, “Long” The family iinvites you to leave a message or memory in our “Memorial Guestbook” at www.wilkirsonhatchbailey.com. WILKIRSON HATCH BAILEY
