OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY And while you lie in peaceful sleep, your memory we shall always keep. What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see, to hear your voice and see your smile, that meant so much to me. Heavy are our hearts today, memory brings you back once more, to the time when you were with us, to the happy days of yore. 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; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above.
