I'd like to leave an echo, Whispering softly down the ways; Of happy times and laughing times, And bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, To dry before the sun; Of happy memories I leave behind- When day is done. AcKNOWLEDGMENT The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for all the many kind expressions of sympathy shown them during their time of bereavetnent. May God bless all of you.
