"When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can if I ever frowned and remember only my smile. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember that I had loads of fun. Recall that I have fought some hard battles and won when each day was done. Then forget any grieving at my going, I would not have you sad for even a day. But in the summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. Stand for a few moments beside me and take a moment to pray."
