A special thank you to the staff of the Treherne Personal Care Home for their kindness and compassion shown not only to Bertha, but to the family as well in her final days.

Miss me but let me go

When I come to the end of the road,

and the sun has set for me

I want no rites in gloom filled rooms

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long.

And not with your head bowed low.

Just remember the love we share.
