ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Perhaps you sang a lovely song,
Or sat quietly in a chair
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray
If so we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words
As any friend could say,
Perhaps you were not there at all
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts.
With food, cards, telegrams, kind deeds or thoughts.
We thank you so much, whatever the part.
The Family of the Late
Mr. Jessie Coleman
