In Loving Memory to Mary Jo

Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall. You had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. Your voice was sweet and stilled the heart for your love for all was true. Ah, bitter was the trial to part from one so good as you. You are not forgotten 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’ll miss you more. Your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can take your vacant place.
