We think ofyou in silence And make no outward show, But what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know. You wished no one farewell,
Nor even said good-bye. You were gone before we knew it.
And only God knows why. A golden heart stopped beating
With tender hands at rest.
Your memory is our keepsake, With that we will never part. God has you in His keeping, But we have you in our hearts. We love you and miss you very much.
