We did not know that morning What sorrow the day would bring, The bitter grief, the shock severe To part with one we loved so dear. You bid no one a last farewell, No chance to say goodbye, You were gone Philip before we knew it, And only God knows why. We pray that when you left us, That you knew how much we cared, Today, tomorrow, our whole lives through, We will always love and cherish memories of you. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again. Goodbye, My Love CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL in care of arrangements, 586-8044.
