Your gentle face and patient smile
with sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each and
died beloved by all
The voice is mute and stilled the heart
that loved us well and true
How bitter was the trial to part from
one so good as you
You are not forgotten loved one
though will you ever be
As long as life and memory lasts We
will remember thee
We miss you now our hearts are sore
as time goes by we miss you more
Your loving smile your gentle face no
one can fill your vacant place.
