To leave a condolence visit demarcostonefuneralhome.com I may go But I will not leave you; For I Am the red flower at the bend of a windy brook through tall pine woods; And the campfire smoke that rises into the star filled sky; I leave behind mementos and memories; So, you will not walk alone in time of need; I will tap you on the shoulder when you think sadly of me; I will cry with you, when you cry of me; And on days that run long and dark; You will know me when I surge through you; You will know me when you lift and rise; And you will see me through a wise man’s eyes. See you on down the road ������.
