vpe«t the weekend in the home of
his father, T. R. Matthews.
You've been gone a year.
Even now you seem so near.
God saw fit to ease your pain
And now you trod the Heavenly
lane V
To you, God gave a glorious
new home
And we remain on earth alone.
Our children, three boys and a
girl. ,
WUI never know the joy of a
father in this world.
May the smiling picture that i*
always near
Give them many happy thoughts'
of Daddy Dear.
For strength, te God, I pray
To guide them in the straight,'
and narrow way. *
And when their life on earth is
o’er
They will meet you, Dear Dad-
dy, on Heaven’s golden shore.
