We did not see you close your eyes,
We did not see you die,
All we knew was that you were gone,
Without a last goodbye,
It was a sudden parting,
Too bitter to forget,
Only those who loved you,
Are the ones who will never forget.
The happy hours we once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still,
But death has left a vacant place,
This world can never fill.
Your life was one of kindly deeds,
A helping hand for other’s needs,
Sincere and true in heart and mind.
Beautiful memories left behind.
O Sweet Jesus, for the sake of
Thy Bitter Passion and the sorrows
of Thy Immaculate Mother, have
mercy on his soul, and let the
Light of Thy Countenance shine upon him.
