remembrance of our son

MR. EARL DINGLE
who departed this life March
26, 1946.
Six years have passed since
you left us,
Sad was the shock that day.
You bade no one a last farewell,
A last goodbye you could not
say.
We little thought your death so
near.
Only those who have lost can
tell
The pain of parting without
farewell.
He Is gone but not forgotten.
Never will hls memory fade.
Loving thoughts will always
linger
Around the grave where he is
laid.
Forget him! No, we never will.
His memory is as fresh today
As the hour he passed away.
