POEM
We miss you, oh, we miss you. How could we help but cry? But if we live as you lived, We'll meet you again by and by.
No one knows o f the sadness, Only those who have lost can te ll O f g rie f that's borne in silence, For the one we loved so well.
'Tis sad to part with those we love While here on earth we stay; But then a brighter thought comes; we'll meet again some day.
God knows how much we miss you Never shall your memory fade. Loving thoughts shall always wander To the spot where you are laid.
-The Family
