A/N:  I didn't write this and I don't know who did.  It was on the back of the booklet of the funeral Mass I went to today (1/7) and having the one-track mind that I do, I saw it very easily being said by our beloved hobbit and thought I would share it with you with just a small bit of my own modification.

My dear brothers,

I am leaving this life,

But this last look does not mean 'good-bye'

for my love for you is truly timeless,

beyond the reach of my body's departure.

I leave myself to your memory,

with love.

I leave my heart, my smile, my dreams to you,

whom I have treasured beyond gold.

I give you what no one can take,

the memories of our times together,

the successes we have shared,

the hard times that brought us closer,

and the many roads we have walked side by side.

I also leave you a solemn promise,

that while I am now gone,

I will still be present,

whenever and wherever you call on me.

My spirit will be drawn to you

by the magnet of our love.

Whenever you are in need, call me.

I will come to you,

with my arms full of hope and light,

to give you strength,

to lift you up,

to be your angel.

All I need to take with me as

I leave is your love

and the millions of memories

of all that we have shared,

so I can truly enter my new life

as wealthy as I have left my old.

Fear not nor grieve at my departure,

you whom I have loved so much,

for your souls and mine are forever intertwined.
