In Loving Memory of MELVIN FREDERICK - Nov. 26, 1915 - May 11, 1998 --

The way he talked, the smile he wore
And all the thousand things so dear
We loved about hime while he live
Haven't gone with him from here
They're planted deep in memory's garden
And watered daily with our tears.
To keep them ever fresh and vivid
Through all the coming years.
