In Memory of Romulus C. Griffin
Just one year ago you left me,
When Jesus called you home.
And oh, how I have missed you.
While living all alone.
Yes. I have missed you so much.
Since your voice 1 cannot hear.
Yet, 1 know that life is such,
That all will leave a vacant chair.
Though I could not wish you back
again.
With all your pain and sorrow,
But would say with Jesus remain.
In that Happy Land of tomorrow.
Dear Romulus, I know that you are
waiting.
For Mother, in her declining year.
Some day I hope to meet you in
Heaven,
Where there will be no shedding of
tears.
Mrs. Laura M. Hadley,
His Mother.
