FREEMAN, Melvin E.
FREEMAN - To my Dad, Melvin E. Freeman, who passed away May 23, 1976.
This month brings such deep regret, How ironic it has also been 23 years
They say that memories fade but I disagree, We think about you every day.

RANDALL - In loving memory of a dear father, Douglas C., who passed away May 23, 1979.
Silent memories keep you near, As time unfolds another year,
No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts you are always there.
Always remembered and loved by son, David and daughter-in-law Donna.
RANDALL, Douglas C.
RANDALL - In loving memory of our dad, Douglas, who passed away May 23rd 1979.
The month of May comes with deep regret,
It brings back memories, We will never forget.
No farewells were spoken, No time to say good-bye,
You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone,
Part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
Forever loved and missed Jean, Rose and Margaret
