In Loving Memory of John Patterson Young I lost my life companion, Life linked to my own Day by day I pray for you, as I will walk through life alone Those left behind will be good and kind But no one will replace you Heartaches in this world are many, but loosing you is worse than any; You had a special smile, a special face A special someone I can not replace You knew how much I cared By all the years we shared The good times, the bad, the happy and the sad We were always together, and always glad We shared more than words can say and now that you're gone, that love and caring will never die Today tomorrow, my whole life through I will always love and remember you. Your Loving Wife, Lee Young Chapel Lawn 885-9715
