IN MEMORIAM

How pure the joy in this man's life How mighty till the end His greatest work - his girl, his boy Their father and their friend. Yet sweeter still their children brought Such laughter with their wiles And Granddad rocked and shook his head His visage wreathed in smiles He truly was a friend to all His watchword to be kind No fancy talk from Yorkshire's son Nor malice in his mind And steadfast still the marriage made His lady and her beau Whose life we celebrate today Dear heart we'll miss you so. Adored, Revered, Unforgettable Irreplaceable.
