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.
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It’s all a 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!

Beverly’s Life
Beverly Delois McWilliams was born December 26, 1959, in Memphis, Tennessee to the late Dan and Corene Boston McWilliams. She passed away on January 2, 2017
Beverly professed her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ at an early age at Parkway Gardens Presbyterian Church under the leadership of Reverend Ezekiel Bell. She continued her spiritual walk by uniting with Christ Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Gina M. Stewart. Beverly was a faithful and dedicated member of the Liturgical Dance Ministry, the Senior Jewels Ministry, and the Outreach Ministry.
Beverly graduated from Hamilton High School. Beverly continued her educational pursuits by graduating from Remington College with an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration. She didn’t stop there. Beverly graduated Cum Laude from Kaplan University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a concentration in Child Development. Beverly’s love of education led her to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Ashford University with a Master of Arts Degree in Education.
Beverly had a diverse employment history, but she found no greater joy than when employed with Christ Missionary Baptist Church and her last job with the Memphis City Schools.
Beverly was preceded in death by her parents, Dan and Corene McWilliams, a brother Charles McWilliams and a sister, Cynthia McWilliams. She leaves to cherish her memory three sons, Daniel Williams (Crystal Wells), Carlos Williams (Tiffany) and Tristan Williams (LaTanya Smith) all of Memphis, Tennessee; four sisters, Danis McWilliams, Diane Golston, Anntoinette Johnson (Anthony) all of Memphis and Estella McGhee of Atlanta, Georgia; two brothers, Reginald McWilliams and Raymond McWilliams (Phyllis) both of Memphis, Tennessee; fourteen grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
