Just in your judgment, always right; honest and liberal, ever upright; loved by your friends and all whom you knew. Our wonderful friend - that person was you. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. The rolling stream of life rolls on. But still the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat there. In my heart your memory lingers, always tender, fond and true; there's not a day, dear friend, I do not think of you.
