Light from our household is gone,
a voice we loved is stilled. A place
is vacant in our home, which never
can be filled. We have to mourn the
loss of one we did our best to save.
Beloved on earth, regretted still, re-
membered in the grave. It was hard
to part with one so dear, we little thought
the time was near. Farewell dear one,
your life is past, our love for you till the
end will last.
