​You left quietly without a fuss
You always had a smile to share
A laugh, a joke
A time to care


A wonderful nature
Warm and true
These are the memories
I have of you


A beautiful life
Came to an end
You died as you lived
Everyone’s friend


You gave me year’s of happiness
Then sorrow came with tears
You left me lovely memories
I will treasure through the years


Dorothy Frances Gurney (1858 – 1932)
