Now that I have come to the end of my journey, and have traveled my last earthly mile, please remember me by my smile. I would not have you sad for a day, but in the summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. Come in the evening when the sun paints the sky in the west and stand a few moments beside me, and only remember my best.
