The call was sudden, the blow
severe To part with one we loved so dear
Only those who have lost can tell The bitter
parting without farewell
From Mum and Dad
Without farewell he fell
asleep With only memories to keep
Sleep on, dear brother, God knows best On earth there's strife; in heaven rest
Sadly missed but not forgotten, from Brothers
and Sisters We often sit and
think of him When we are all alone
For memory is the only friend That grief can
call its own
Our thoughts are with you always. Sister Edith
(London) and Will |
