IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Gerald F. 'Jay'
Harrington
October 16, 1933 -
March 19, 2011
We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our best to the end,
'Til we could do no more.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts
were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will
Forget you father dear.
