IN MEMORIAL
In loving memory of our
beloved husband, father,
grandfather, Bennie Cook, who
left us on April 19, 1969.
Loving Memories
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 notf orgotten 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.
-- Mrs. Bennie Cook, Gwen
Mitchell, Betty Thompson,
Grandchildren.
