May 21st, 1924 ~ March 15th 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of a pioneer Merville family member, Mildred Smith (nee Larkin), originally from Larkin Rd, Merville. Millie was just 8 weeks shy of her 90th birthday. She was predeceased by her parents and also her husband Richard Smith in 2001. She is survived and will be lovingly missed by her sister Helen, several nieces and nephews and numerous friends. May her memory live on in the hearts of those who knew her well. There is no service planned, at Millie鈥檚 request, but an Appreciation Tea will be held at the C.V. Seniors Village in April. The date will be announced at a later time.
At this time we wish to thank the wonderful and caring staff of the C.V. Seniors Village where Mildred resided for the past 4 1/2 years. Millie asked that this poem be shared in her memory.
Miss Me But Let Me Go
I鈥檝e 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 is a journey that we must take
and each must go alone.
It鈥檚 all a step in the master鈥檚 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
