Little we knew when we awoke, The sorrows the day would bring; The call was sudden, shock severe; To part with one we loved so dear. You bid no one a last farewell, Or even said good-bye; You were gone before we knew, And only God knows why For all of us you did your best, God grant you eternal rest.
