JEFFREY NATHAN RICHARD
October 26, 1963 - June 24, 2018 In loving memory of my dear
Lovester and father.
Gone from me that smiling face
That pleasant cheerful way,
A heart that won so many friends
In bygone happy days.
Though his smiles have gone forever
And his hand I cannot touch
I shall never lose sweet memories
Of the one I loved so much.
He has gone across the river
To the shores of evergreen,
And I long to see his dear face
But the river flows between.
Just a token of fond remembrance
To a husband who was one of the best
The joys that he missed on life's highway,
May he find in God's Garden of Rest.
One year has passed, dear father,
Since you were called away,
How well I do rememberer
That sad and weary day.
You suffered much, you murmured not
We watched you day day,
We cried and prayed that your dear life
Would not be taken away.
His weary hours and days of pain,
His troubled nights are past
And in our aching hearts we know
He was found sweet rest at last.
Sadly missed and
lovingly remembered by your family.
