Memorial may me made to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital, Memphis, TN in memory of Judy Sharpe. She wanted to share this poem with you: When I am gone, just release me, let me go... so I cam move into my afterglow. You mustn't tie me down with your tears; let's be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve me for a while, if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted with trust. It's only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home."
