Of my husband, ROBERT GIBBONS, who
departed this life seven years ago today,
december rs, 1888. May his soul rest
| IN peace.
Sad and sudden was the call
For one so dearly loved by all:
a bitter grief and shock severe
IT was to part with one SO dear.
Days of sadness still come over us,
Hidden tears so often flow;
Memory keeps you always near u.s.
Although you left seven years ago.
The blow was heavy. the shock severe,
We little thought that death was so near;
Only those who have lost can tell
,, The pain Of parting without farewell

Some may think I am not lonely,
When at times they see me smile;
But little do they know the heartache
That have suffered all the while.
Surrounded by friends am still lonely.
In the midst of Joy I am blue;
With smile on my face. have heart
ache,

Sleep on, dear Pop, and take your rest.
God called you home, He thought it best;
He knew your suffering here was great,
SO He opened wide the pearly gates
No more upon this earth we will see
Your sweet, loving face;
NO one IN this whole wide world
VIII ever take your place.
Our hearts cannot tell how We miss you,
Our lips do not know what TO say;
God only knows our feelings
Which hide under our smiles today.
In Gods garden free from pain
Where grows His fairest flowers,
We know that we will meet again

Gone is the face loved so dear.
Silent is the voice loved to hear;
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far away for thoughts to reach
Sweet to remember my dad dear
Who. though absent. is Just as near.
