A Tribute
Yours was a useful life; You wrought well while here. You were generous with your time, A s you toiled from year to year. Many a life you did touch,
Always doing your part. Glad to serve when called upon, With a meek and humble heart.
Your life was dedicated To things noble and true. It was no task fo r you to work
That, you want to do! Y ou'll ne'er be forgotten Though you have passed away The deeds you've left behind Will live on each day. We didn't want to give you up-- Sleep, sleep on, take your rest This act o f God we dare not question, For H e alone, knows best.
