IN MEMORY
Dora VelOsky

In loving memory of our dear
son and brother, Johnnie J.
Clark, who was so suddenly
called away three years ago,
December II, 1852.
You bid no one last fare
well,
You said goodbye to none.
Your loyal heart had ceased to
beat,
And before we knew it you
were gone.
In our hearts we cherish
picture,
More precious than silver or
gold,
Tis the one of our dear loved
one,
Whose memory will never
grow old.
The lovely face we once saw
is gone,
The voice we heard is still.
But the memories of our loved
one still linger near.
But the loneliness at times is
SO hard
/ can never express.
Always will remain till I am
laid to rest.
God. gave us strength to face
it,
And courage to bear the blow.
But what it meant to lose
you, Johnnie,
No one will ever know.
Your not forgotten, Johnnie,
Dear,
Nor never shall you be.
As long as life and memory
last,
We shall remember thee.
Sadly missed by:
Parents
