In loving but sad remembrance o
our dear son and brother, Clarence
81. Gochenour who departed this life
one year ago March 2, 1920.
Thou art not forgotten dear Clarence,
Nor ever shalt thou be;
Aa long as life and memory last,
We will remember thee.
The hands that toll d for us are folded,
His dear warm heart is stilled
In the happy home he once enjoyed
His place cannot be filled.
Oh, how we loved you dear,
No heart on earth can tell,
But Jesus loved you better still
And called you home to dwell.
Sleep on dear Clarence, and take
your rest,
God called you home, he thought 1t
best,
He saw your suffering here was great,
And opened wide the Golden Gate.
God called you dearest Clarence,
Called you to his home on high,
May we all prepare to meet you,
For our time is drawing nigh.
