Dear Ralph you are not forgotten, As the years roll swiftly along; Memories of old sweet yesterdays Oft wake in the lilt of a song. Or perchance it's a sudden fancy, When evening shadow's near, And we vision you in the doorway With your old sweet smile so dear. Thus our sad hearts still remember Forever while life shall last; For you were one of God's noblest Too soon was your short life past, But somewhere back of the sunset Where loveliness never dies; We know, dear Ralph, you're waiting Midst the beauty of heavenly skies. Sadly missed by sister Eleanor, Reg., Gordon and Thelma Middleton. | God called him without warning; In Memoriam VINE -- In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Ralph Kenneth, who pasiéd away, March 8, 1958, At early morn when all was stil God gave his great command, - And silently he passed away Into the better land. : Our farewells were never said, But what a glorious morning When we meet on that bright ' strand! hy: Mother, Dad, Wilfred, Helen, Charles and Trudie, |.
