BLACK - In loving memory
of my beloved husband,
Donald Black, who passed
away one year ago today,
May 7,1976.
We walked together,
you and I
In sorrow and in joy;
We shared our pains and
happiness
With love without alloy.
And death shall never end
our love.
For through the mist I see
Our glad reunion in the
skies
For all eternity.
Saldy missed by.
