We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep. Your memory is as dear today, as in the hour you passed away. And while you lie in peaceful sleep, your memory we shall always keep. Gone is the face we loved so dear, silent is the voice we loved to hear. OBITUARIES
