IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving memory of
our dear father and husband, T.
A. Glover, who departed this
life July 9th. He was go years
oid.s He bore all his suffering
and said he was willing to go any
time, ali that loving hands and
also the DR.. s tender care was
bestowed on him. While it is
our loss to let him go, we all
feel that It is his eternal gain.
We sit alone at twilight,
AS the shadows begin to fall,
And wonder why our precious
father
Was taken from us all.
Q, think, how he suffered,
And moaned with pain;
The long night hours
We soothed him in vain;
Till God in his mercy
Sent down from above
An Angel that whispered
A message Of love.
Dear is the grave where
Our father is laid;
Sweet is the memory
Which never will fade,
Roses may wither, grass may die
Others may forget you dear
father,
| But never will I.
Gone, but not forgotten.
