In Memory In memory of Clyde Frazier, who passed away one year ago, October 26. A year has passed since that early mom When the death Angel called for Clyde And we still can’t believe he’s gone Seems Impossible that he could have died. Although in body he is not here His memory will always remain And so the sweetness lingers on, And helps to ease our pain. Although we miss him so much today, God called him from this world of strife And we would not wish him back again For he’s in a better land and life. Our tears have dried and grief dimmed And we know he’s at rest and sleeping. We are sure some day we’ll meet him there And until then he’s in God’s keeping. Wife Geraldine and Sister Alice.
