      So sorry to hear this. She was a great woman and I was lucky to meet her when I worked at Dollar General in Flora. Always loved hearing her stories and visiting with her. Sending prayers to all her friends.

      When I’m Gone

      By Mrs. Lyman Hancock

      When I come to the end of my journey
      And I travel my last weary mile
      Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
      And remember only the smile

      Forget unkind words I have spoken
      Remember some good I have done
      Forget that I ever had heartache
      And remember I’ve had loads of fun

      Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered
      And sometimes fell by the way
      Remember I have fought some hard battles
      And won, ere the close of the day

      Then forget to grieve for my going
      I would not have you sad for a day
      But in summer just gather some flowers
      And remember the place where I lay

      And come in the shade of evening
      When the sun paints the sky in the west
      Stand for a few moments beside me
      And remember only my best. BY TOOTS- TERRY TADLOCK

      Thank you for all of the kind words and great stories. I really enjoyed your visits to the post office. I miss you driving by our house and honking at us as we worked in the yard or garden.It was just days before you passed, but you just went by here and honked more than usual. We didn’t imagine it would be the last time. Rest in peace friend. You will be missed by many. The Allens
