Just a prayer from us who love you,

A precious memory kind and true;

In our hearts you will live forever,

Because we thought the world of you.

Your memory if our keepsake,

From which we will never part;

God has put you in His keeping,

We have you in our hearts.

HRYWKIW:  In loving memory of my dear husband, Laddie, who passed away mar. 2, 2001.

Remembrance is a golden chain,

Death tried to break but all in vain;

To have, to love, and then to part,

Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

Time may wipe out many things,

But this they’ll wipe out never;

The memory of those happy days,

When we were all together

~Lovingly remembered, your wife Lenore.
