loving memory OF our darling hus-

ROUGHS ELY Sr, who was called
from us eight years ago today, Feb

My dearest darling. I'm sure you
know
The heartaches I've been through
Since lust about this time last year
l talked again with you.
1t almost took my life away
To lose our darling boy;
He was so loving, kind and true
A mothers pride and JOY.
But. oh, how happy you must nave
When he walked through that
And LAID his precious hand in yours
And whispered, Am ! late?"
We thought it early, Bob and l,
Just twenty-five years, you know
We had no warning on that night
1t was his time to go,
Like you, he made so many plans
To live for many years
He loved to laugh and sing and play.
He never looked for tears.
His magic charm was something
Than earthly pleasures bent;
strength-
Twas something Heaven sentl
Like you, my love, there's no one who
Could ever take his place,
For the streets of gold will never
hold
A boy more fair of face.
Who loved his Lord with all his
And served him with a smile;
It was his way of living that
Made my life so worthwhile.
Each moment was happy one
When j was with you two,
Life was a youthful dream for me-
The skies were radiant blue,
Both held me close and spoke OF
Sweet fragrance filled the air;
There wasn't any. sorrow then,
Not even the slightest care.
You both were so very wonderful,
So gentle and sincere;
Is there any wonder then,
That ] have TO shed tear?
1t doesn't matter what the month.
Or what time, day or night
/ feel the presence of you both
Reaching out to give me light
Soon I'll be coming along your way,
And it's comforting to know,
That you and Davis will be there
To meet me when | go,
For long so much to be with you
But as for now, I'll have TO wait
And only hope and pray.
YOUR LOVING WIFE, PEARL, AND
SON. BOB, Jr
