My deepest sympathies to you in your loss.
Dear Linda Hand,
Through you as a sister-in-law, I was granted the privilege of knowing Granpa! He was a GEM and I will always remember his sweet and caring disposition. God Bless You Grandpa and may you be at peace with your Lord.
All Our Love,
Debbie & Wade McArthur
A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
