Ward, who left 'is one year ago today, April 26, 1949: The golden gates were opened wide, A gentle voice said, Come And angels from the other side, Welcomed our dear one home. We think of him in silence every hour And often whisper his fond name, But there’s nothing left to answer But his picture in the frame. Often to your grave we wander Placing flowers with tender care, And we always feel that you are near us As we sadly linger there. And when the waning shadows are falling And we are sitting all alone, In our hearts will come a longing . If you could only come home. WIFE AND CHILDREN. &XAILTEN a/tooj I CHIIEAH HITKATE | 1.
