SHOULD YOU GO FIRST Should you go first and I remain
To walk the road alone Ill live in memory garden, dear
With happy days Ive known In spring Ill wait for roses red
When fades the lilac blue In early fall when brown leaves fall
Ill catch a glimpse of you. Should you go first and I remain
One thing Ill have you do Walk slowly down the path of death
For soon Ill follow you. Ill want to know each step you take
That I may walk the same.
The family wishes to express sincere appreciation for the acts of sym pathy and kindness shown during their bereavement.
