MINNIE SMYTH September 16, 1901 June 22, 1990 In loving memory of my mother, Minnie Smyth, who passed away on June 22, 1990. Today recalls sad memories, Of a dear mother gone to rest, And the one who thinks of her today, Is the one who loved her best. In the rising of the sun and in its going down, I remember her. In the blowing of the wind and in chill of winter, I remember her. In the singing and nesting of birds at the dawn of spring, I remember her. In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of summer I remember her. In the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn, I remember her. In the beginning of the year and when it ends, I remember her. When I am weary and in need of strength I remember her. When I am lost and sick at heart I remember her. When I have joys I yearn to share, I remember her. So long as I live she too shall live, For she is part of me. And I'll remember her. - Sadly missed by her daughter, Mona.
