Miss Me But Let Me Go

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 rites in a 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
In Loving Memory
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick of heart

Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me but let me go.

Life Reflection
Leon W. Walton, 81, transitioned to be with the Lord on Friday, October 27 at
Burlington House. Leon was born July 10, 1936 in Birmingham, Alabama to
late Reginald and Mamie Walton.
Leon committed his life to Christ at an early age while attending Groveland
Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
Leon attended A.H. Parker High School and was drafted to the United States
Army in 1954. He later met and married Eliza Davis on April 5, 1958. God
blessed their union with two children, Roger and Yvonne. After moving the
family to Cincinnati in 1969, Leon found work as a machinist at Liebel-
Flarsheim. He was responsible for operating the drill press and eventually was
promoted to a foreman position. After 30 years of service, he retired in 2002.
In his leisure time, Leon loved to work with his hands. He loved building and
fixing things around the house or repairing cars. Fondly named The Mayor of
Edgemont by neighbors, Leon was devoted to keeping the lawn of his home
and surrounding houses manicured. When not in the yard or fixing something,
he would be either listening to jazz or watching Real Western Movies where
the cowboys never lost their hats. He also enjoyed bowling and often
participated in the company bowling league.
Leon joined Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church in the early 1990s
where he served on the Usher Board. He faithfully attended early morning
service until his health no longer allowed him to participate.
Leon leaves to celebrate his life: his wife, Eliza Walton; daughter, Yvonne
Walton-Brewster; son-in-law, John Brewster; daughter-in-law, Joyce White-
Walton; god-daughter, Wray (Dwayne) Jones; grandchildren, Reginald Fletcher,
Deon (Tanya) Mack, Sherita (Reginald) Harrison, Demica Mack, Tynesha Tavis,
CaShaun (Roy) Bolden-Barwick, and Brandon Moore; 11 great-grandchildren,
and a host of special family and friends.
