Your gentle face and patient smile,

With sadness we recall.

You had a kindly word for each

And died beloved by all.

The voice is mute and stilled the heart

That loved us well and true.

Ah, bitter was the trial to part

From one so good as you.

You are not forgotten loved one

Nor will you ever be,

As long as life and memory last

We will remember thee.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,

As time goes by we miss you more.

Your loving smile, your gentle face,

No one can fill your vacant place.
