"RIP"

We often sit and think of you, dear, And think of how you died; To think you could not say goodbye Before you closed your eyes. Do not ask us if we miss him, Life for us is not the same; All the world would be like heaven Juat to have him back again From his loving Wife and Babies Treasured memories of our dear son-in-law ...Remembered always, Mum and Dad Without farewell he fell asleep, With only memories left to keep; Sleep on, dear brother, God knows best, On earth there's strife; in heaven, rest From his ever loving sisters and brothers-in-law Sadly missed - From Brother and Sisters Always remembered (brother) by Violet and Sam
