FUSSY BURGLARS
WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS,
Ohio (UPl)—Burglars stole
about SIOO,OOO in cash and
merchandise from the Value
City discount store over the
Fourth of July weekend and
hauled the loot away in the
company’s new truck.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
NOAH ALLEN LEE WHO
LEFT THIS LIFE ONE
YEAR AGO TODAY
On the 6th day of July, so
many hearts did break,
because from us our loved
one God did take, to Heaven
to live with Him.
We will remember you,
Allen, as long as life and
memory last. Such a
beautiful memory you left
behind, one that loved us
well and true.
You took the journey we all
must take. The sorrow deep
in our heart bleeds, your
gentle face and patient
smile, with sadness we
recall. You had a kind word
for each and died loved by
all.
What would I give to clasp
your hand, your happy face
to see, your smile that meant
so much to us. It seems like
only yesterday, I heard your
soft teasing voice call
Grandma, and make a
kidding joke to show that you
cared.
Yes, these little things
were over looked, as we went
from day to day, only to
become treasures, since you
have gone away.
Sadly missed by:
Grandmother, Mrs. Ozie Lee
and Family
