Mr. Leonard Searcy Mr. Willie Harris Mr. Walter Lamar Mr. Joseph Culp Mr . James Rushin
Mr. Raymond Baker
When I must leave you for a little while P1ease do n.ot grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrows to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile: And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days But fill each working hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near:
And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!
