IN MEMORIAM
A tribute of love and devotion to the memory of my loving son, James Asbury, who left us 2 years ago, March 16, 1938"The month of March is here again
It’s the saddest day in the year
For two years ago today
My loving son passed away"Peaceful be thy rest, dear Jimmie
Tis’ sweet to just call your name
In life we loved you so dearly
In death just the same"In our aching hearts your memory lingers
You were faithful, loving, true
There is not a day that passes
That we do not think of you"You, were gone Jimmie
For only a little while
We will never have another
To fill your place and smile"Little did I think the last time I saw your sweet smiling face coming up the steps with all of your loved ones, Dec. 25, to celebrate that great day with mother, that was the beginning of heart aches.
