IN MEMOR1AM
In loving memory of our dear
son and brother, Louis Duve, who
passed away two years ago, July
13:
We're sad within our memory,
lamely in our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever been called uway.
We think of him In silence,
No one may see us weep;
But muny silent tears are shed
When others are asleep.
Nothing we can say or do but pray.
Dear son and brother,
That we will be with you. again
some day.
Sadly missed by his
Mother, Father, Sisters and
Brothers
