I remember the day I met you, The day God made you mine, I'll remember the day I lost you, dear And will till the end of time. With all the tears and heartaches, The one thing that makes me glad Is the day you chose me, To share with you the wonderful Years we've had. There's no parting with those you love, No distance can divide. For today we still walk side by side. My thoughts are with you. Your place no one can fill, In life I loved you dearly, In death, I love you still. I know you'll walk beside me, And when my life is through. I pray that God will take my hand, And lead me straight to you. -Your loving wife Ruth- GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery Hwy. #1 E. at Navin, (204) 222-3241
