Miss Me

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!

~Acknowledgements ~

Realizing each tomorrow is not ours to understand and know that God never hurts needlessly and never wastes pain. For every loss he sends to us is followed by rich gains. Today in our loss, we recognized our gains in our friends and loved ones, your cards, flowers, prayers, words of encouragement, phone calls and every kind of deed has been a source of strength and comfort.

Norman attended schools in Memphis – Mary Wayne for kindergarten, Hyde Park from the first through eighth grades and graduated from Manassas High School.

Reflections:

Norman was a highly intelligent, well-educated and complex person with a heart of gold. He loved reading, music, sports and photography but his passion was the law. He especially enjoyed helping those in need using his knowledge of the law. He deeply loved his two sons – Norman II and Jayson born to his union with Janice Carter.

He was preceded in death by his father Wash Loggins, his mother Lillian Marie Loggins and his youngest brother Kevin Earl Loggins. He leaves to mourn his two sons; Norman Cedric Loggins II and Jayson Carter Loggins; two siblings Bettye (Percy) and Wallace, three nieces, Edythe, Amina and Cierra, two nephews, Cory and Cameron, two great nieces, Elani and Jayla, his devoted friend Henry Jamerson and a host of other family and friends. We will miss his talent for telling stories, barbecuing and “talking trash.”

Rest in peace dear brother you have fought the good fight, kept the faith and earned your just reward.
