For the loved one gone before.

Then you never went away;

For thoughts of you are with us,

Each and every day.

As time goes on without you,

And days turn into years;

They hold so many mem­ories,

And a million silent tears.

To me you both were so special,

What more is there to say;

Except to wish with all my heart,

That you were here today.

-Lovingly remembered by wife and mother.
