WALK SLOWLY If you should go before me, dear, walk slowly Down the ways of death, well-worn and wide, For I would want to overtake you quickly And seek the journeys ending by your side. I would be so forlorn not to descry you Down some shining high road when I came; Walk slowly, dear, and often look behind you And pause to hear if someone calls your name. Love Gordon Julias family wishes to acknowledge and thank the women and men of Home Care Services and her VON Marilyn Penner for their many hours of dedicated care and affection.
