Just a thought of sweet remembrance just a memory sad and true, just the love and sweet devotion of one who thinks of you. We are sad within our memory, lonely are our hearts today; for the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep.
