We’ll meet again with you.

In loving memory of our Father, George M. Christman, who

August 1971.
What would I give if I could say
Hello Father and Mother in the same old way,
To hear their voice and see their smile,
To sit and chat with them a while.
Their gentle face and patient smile,
With sadness we recall,
They had a kind word for each of us
And died beloved by all.
It broke our heart to give them up,
But they did not go alone,
The greatest part of us went with them
The day God called them home.
It doesn’t matter where we go,
And no matter what we do,
There will always be something
To make us think of you.
Looking back with special memories
As life’s weary road we trod,
We bless the years we had with them
And leave the rest to God.
We still wander out the road
To the graves not far away
Where we laid our beloved ones
In the last few years.
Sadly missed by son, Clarence
Christman, and daughter, Estella Baker.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of my dear husband, Adam W. Miller, who
passed away March 29, 1966.
Fifty-two years we spent living together, we were content,
some were happy, some were sad. To live them over, I’d be glad. It’s a lonely
world when you’re all alone, when there is no one to share every sorrow and
care, when there’s no one to greet you at the close of the day. The sunshine
may come in your heart but never to stay.
It’s a lonely world when you’re all alone, that’s the way
my world is since you are gone, there is no way to count the tears I have shed,
and the nights I have been blue, dear, just thinking of you. There’s a bridge
that leads beyond this world of time and space, through a green and peaceful
valley to a lovely dwelling place, where our loved ones find true joys that
never end, across the bridge that leads beyond the peaceful valley bend.
Sadly missed by wife, Letha Miller and children.

Mid the blue and gold of skies.

Deep in our hearts they will always stay,
Loved and remembered everyday.
Their busy hands are resting,
Their work on earth is done,
Their worries are all ended,
Their Heavenly Crown is won.
Someday we hope to meet them,
Someday we know not when,
To hold their hand in a better land
Never to part again.
