God took you from me without farewell, Deep is the sorrow, none can tell;
The blow was hard, the shock severe, To part with one I loved so dear.
From her loving Husband
Many a lonely heartache, Often a silent tear, But always beautiful memories
Of the mother I loved so dear. From Ivy,
Godfrey, and John She bade farewell to no one, She said good-bye to none, An
urgent call from God on High, She had no chance to say good-bye.
From Cyril and Gladys |

"RIP"

October 1941 |
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 |
