IN MEMORY OF RYAN K. CARPENTER
January 31, 1981 - March 16, 2008
It’s been three months since you left this earth,
Our hearts ache like it was yesterday.
Memories of you from the day you were placed in our arms, 27 years ago.
A friend of yours sent us this poem and thought the message fit you.

MISS ME BUT LET ME GO

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no right in 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.
And when you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me but let me go.

Until God calls us one by one Ryan, we will see you again.
Love always honey!
Dad, Mom, Family and Friends
