How do I find who is the author of this quote?

Question

I read this in an obituary notice the other day, but there was no author. Does anyone recognize it or know where I can find out? I have googled it but nothing comes up. It is such comforting statement of the passing of a loved one. Thank you for your help.

"When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me, 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 was once shared, miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. When you're lonely and sick of heart, go to the family and friends we know. And bury your sorrows in good memories and deeds. Miss me, but let me go."

Answer 4

I've heard this before! it's really sweet isn't it? The title is- "Miss Me, Let Me Go"

I tried looking for it too but the author in anonymous but it is speculated that it could have been written by Robyn Rancman, although it is unlikely.

Look up Caliban's Dreams.  It's an altered version of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
