The dearest father, beloved husband, uncle, grandpa and friend, One of the best whom God could lend. He was loving, gentle, thoughtful and true, Always willing a kind act to do. It is not tears at the moment shed That tell how beloved is the soul that has fled, But tears through many a long night wept, And loving remembrance fondly kept. WE LOVE YOU, PAPPA.
