Inscription
In Loving Remembrance
Of Our Dear Father
Gone but not forgotten
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
Which (never?) can be filled
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
