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.
