I will not forget the one I love,
The voice I heard each day,
The many things he did for me,
In his kind and loving way.
He gave me years of happiness,
Then came sorrow and tears,
But he left me beautiful memories
To treasure through the years.
Fill his arms with flowers, Lord,
Take him in Your care,
Make up for all he suffered
And all that seemed unfair.
Love you, Joe, for ever. Glenis. xxx.

In our hearts you will stay with love.
