Loving and kind in all her ways, Upright and just to the end of her days; Sincere and true, in her heart and mind, Beautiful memories, she left behind. 17. We have only a memory, dear mother, We cherish our whole life through; But the sweetness will live forever As we treasure the memory of you. 18. Always so good, unselfish and kind. Few on this earth her equal we find. Honourable and upright in all her ways, Loyal and true to the end of her days. You are not forgotten, dear mother. 19. Memory drifts to scenes long past, Time rolls on, but memories last; Sunshine passes, shadows fall. Love's remembrance outlasts all. 2 0 . Tonight the stars are gleaming On a lonely, silent grave, W here sleeps in dreamless slumber One we loved but could not save. No one knows the silent heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell O f the grief that we bear in silence For the one we loved so well. a> These verses can be used when placing an In Memoriam notice by simply quoting the verse number to our representatives.
