Pleasant in manner, patient in pain, our loss is your eternal gain. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. The rolling stream of life rolls on. But still the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat there. A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. IN MEMORIAM
