OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY 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 loving person, so gentle and kind; what a wonderful memory you left behind. Gone is the face we loved so dear, silent is the voice we loved to hear; too far away for sight or speech, but not too far for thought to reach, sweet to remember you who once was here, and who, though absent, is just as dear. 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. 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.
