" We sat beside your bedside our hearts were crushed and sore
we did our best to the end till we could do no more
In tears we watched you sinking, we watched you fade away
and though our hearts were breaking we knew you could not stay
You left behind some aching hearts that loved you most sincere
we never shall and never will forget you Father Dear."
