ROGERS - In loving memory of a dear son and brother, Mark, who passed away October 1, 1987. My heart still aches with sadness, And secret tears still flow, Oh, what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. When I am sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, "Cheer up and carry on". Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm only sleeping, We'll meet again some day". -Lovingly remembered by Mom, Jerry, Noel, Joanne, Michelle and Steven.027299
