POEM in the Memorial Card

For those I love: For those who love me....
When I am gone, release me, let me go....
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love; you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown.
But now it's time I travelled alone!

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must.
Then...let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part.
So Bless the memories that lie within your heart.

So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
all of my love around you, soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone...
I'll greet you with a smile and "Welcome Home"


Versia married Ellis Little on November 30, 1930. They had two chidren: Glen Donald Little - he is still living and Ellis Ronald Little. Versia and Ellis divorced and Versia maried Fred Ralph Robinson on March 29, 1942. They had two children: Sandra Kay Robinson - still living and Phillip Wayne Robinson - still living.

My family and I are not sure where my great-grandmother, Melissia McCurry Hall Cooper is buried. We can't find her death records, etc. Melissia and Lee Hall, Jr. was never married.
