**********
A precious one from us has gone, A voice we love is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home - which never can be filled. G od saw the road was getting rough, The hills were hard to climb, He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered, "Peace be thine. "
And with our lonely heartache and many a silent tear, We have a beautiful memory o f one we love so dear. Clara Marynell and Pat Waters
