The death angel came down in
to our midst on May 22, 1960 and
took to heaven our father and hus
band. Oh, how hard it was for us
to give him up. We know, though
that he is at rest and free from
all his earthly sufferings. A place
is vacant in our home that can
never be filled. Our hearts are
heavy with sorrow and at times
more than we can bear, but we
would not call him back here to
suffer if it were in our power. He
talked often of his Heavenly
Home, because he knew his days
on earth were few. I think he will
wait just inside the pearly gates
watching for each of his loved
ones, friends, and neighbors. He
was an inspiration to all with
whom he came in contact.
Daddy, we know you are waiting,
And we can almost hear you call
But when we think of our parting,
The tear drops begin to fall.
Yes we miss you more each day,
And long to talk again with you,
And I’m sure we will do just that,
In the home beyond the blue.
You’re not forgotten, Dear Daddy,
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!
Deep in our hearts lie a picture
Of our loved one laid to rest,
In memory’s frame we’ll keep it,
Because he was one of the best.

Mrs. J. W. Chapman.
