MAURICE FONTAINE April 28, 1937 - April 5, 2015 Beyond the Sunset Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone, I'll live in memories garden, dear, with happy days we've known. In spring I'll wait for roses red, when faded, the lilacs blue, In early fall when brown leaves fall I'll catch a glimpse of you. Should you go first and I remain, for battles to be fought. Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot, I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile, though blindly I may grope, The memory of your helping hand will buoy me with hope. Should you go first and I remain, one thing I'll have you do, Walk slowly down that long, long path, for soon I'll follow you. I want to know each step you take so I may take the same, For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name. Lovingly remembered Olive and family
