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 Doris dear.

Dear sister of Anna Corbett of East Boston, Dolores DeLuca and Theresa McGuire of Melrose, Raymond Scott of Malden, and the late Anthony, Walter, and Eugene Scott.
