There was an Angel band in Heaven,
That wasn't quite complete;
God took our dear daughter and
sister
To fill the vacant seat,
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever,
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in
vain;
We shall hear her voice,
Oh. never, nevermore again.
Her loving father, Michael Trayn-
ham.
Her devoted sister. Lillian Bartee.
