Miss Me But Let Me Go by Christina Rossetti

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.

Gary S. Rauen, age 78, of Merrill, Wisconsin, passed away on April 5, 2026, while under the hospice care, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on April 22, 1947, in Neillsville to George and Mabel Rauen, Gary was a man of strong faith, deep dedication, and quiet strength. He lived with humor, with grit, with heart. He loved deeply and in his own unmistakable style.

Following his military service, Gary devoted 38 years to the United States Postal Service. He retired as Postmaster in Athens, Wisconsin, after more than 18 years in that role, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, reliability, and commitment to his community.

Gary found great joy in the outdoors; it was his sanctuary. Whether he was out deer hunting, making the best maple syrup, making firewood, or packing up for the annual Big Lake camping trip, he was in his element. Those trips weren’t just vacations – they were rituals, memories stitched into the fabric of our family. The kind of moments that become stories, and the stories become legacy. After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, Gary mentioned that these times spent outdoors were missed the most.

A devoted Catholic, he carried his faith with him throughout his life.

Gary married Holly Strozewski on January 4, 2002, and they shared many years together building a life centered on family and compassion.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Holly; his daughters, Michele Borski and her children, Ahlyana and Dreyden; Saundra (John) Balbach and their children, Johann and Winston; and Jessica (Jeremy) Reece and their children, Ashton and Sienna.
